I'm pretty sure it would have been mounted to the firewall, and would have looked like this:

But some '36 owner will jump in and tell you precisely.

I'm trying to think back about 30, 40 years. It seems to me it was on a bracket that was attached to one of the cylinder head bolts near the back of the block. Left (drivers) side as I recall.

As the famous nastycar driver, Dale Earnhart, said when told they needed a caution during a race his was in "Working on it!!" Somebody out there must have a bulletin or paper or something, but it is a difficult task to get people to let loose of their stashes.

There seem to be a few manuals/documents up for sale here in the UK at the moment ; I'll post a search link

The killer is the price of them ; they seem to average around £125 or $191 which is a lot. If the price were a little more competitive I'd happily invest in some for the greater good but had I £125 free then there are many other things that need to addressed

And yes I know we've sort of hijacked this thread and gone off tangent so I'll be quiet now

I used to have a '36 'plane with the same problem--no horn. I found an old 6 volt "aaaoooga" horn on ebay, put in a relay and bolted it in that huge doghouse between the grille and radiator. Not PC (period correct), but it worked great...k

Here's where it is on my 36 Terrorplane Sedan. Original as far as I know.

Hey,
I believe Alex is correct.
My 36 came with the horn on a bracket bolted on top of one of the head studs on the drivers side of the block.
Let me know if you want me to post a pic.

My 1934 Terraplane, which is a survivor not a restored car, and may have had it changed since 1934, has a bracket or the horn on top of the cylinder head. It looks right to me. Pix available if you wish. Hudsonly.
