1970 Dart Swinger Horn Location

[70SwingerGuy]

Hey all. Looking for some pics of the horns/location on a 70 Swinger, Im pretty sure the wimpy sounding single horn I have isnt factory, so Id like to see some pics of what others have so I know what to go looking for.
Thanks FABO

My 70 340 Swinger: Let me know if you need more pics or measurements.

Wimpy single horn was indeed standard equipment. Dual horns were a de luxe fitment either by option or by option package.

That is VERY helpful, thanks so much. Are your horns Sparton or Prestolite?
And of course a previous owner mounted a coolant recovery tank right in the horn location on my car... D'OH

Thanks much Dan, perhaps it IS the factory horn then

I just drove a factory original 70 Dart Swinger today and it has a single horn on the right front core support, only higher option cars got dual horns...

After looking at your pics I realized I routed the wires through the wrong hole.

Thanks! Mine has a single horn on the right rad support also, only "inside" the support, between the support and grille. It may have been moved there to accommodate a coolant recovery tank

Yes, they are all mounted at the factory on the engine side of the core support. This is an original paint/interior 318 70 Swinger that has a 383 installed...

Mine had a single. I found a nice pair and now I am Deluxe!

Nice! Is that your rad overflow coming through the rad support?

all three of my Darts, including the LL23 low option Swinger all had dual horns. All the replacement under hood wiring harnesses from M&H have the double terminal wire for 2 horns so maybe your is just a bolt on and plug in process. The last set I bought (3 years ago) came as a pair and were powder coated which makes keeping that odd shaped horn looking nice

Yup, my factory harness has a double terminal also. So I guess Im on the lookout now for a dual pair of horns, then Ill have to relocate my recovery tank to be able to mount them in the factory position

A brand new set with both horns from Vans costs $135 and has the correct brackets included
