wolf whistle help Hi guys, I went up to Rineback N. Y. car show a couple weeks ago and while there I found a guy selling wolf whistles, he had 2 of them.he swore they worked and they were from the 50's. so I took a chance , I figured it would be a little different. AH ha buyer be where. I took the trouble to install it on the intake manifold but it doesn't work. all I get is a slight wooosh noise??it doesn't seem like theres much to it, it has a small lever on the back you pull it and its supposed to blow maybe there are parts missing?? I don't know . does anyone have any experience with these and can maybe lend a hand ?? THANKS THE HOOCH

Re: wolf whistle help If you look down the throat of the trumpet there should be a whistle device in there that looks like this:
http://static.speedwaymotors.com/RS/...L_17c91eca.jpg Yours may be plugged or corroded. Some penetrating oil and a little prodding with a piece of MIG wire should help. It can also rattle loose and unscrew. It may just need to be tightened/ re-seated. It may also be missing completely or broken internally. You can get this part new from speedway motors for $10. If the whistle threads are free and easy to turn use some sealer to keep it from backing out. |
Re: wolf whistle help Is your whistle body metal or plastic? They both work the same way and as Mike said, make sure the round brass "whistler" piece is in there and will spin freely. I have a metal one-got from Snyder's and it works fine. I also have a red plastic one I bought on eBay and it works even better than the metal one. Can you post a picture of the one you have? Smitty

Re: wolf whistle help I had one on my 55 Chevy years ago. I had to lube the spinner about every 3 weeks to keep it working.

Re: wolf whistle help You should only use a wolf whistle briefly ..it is a real good way to burn or warp your valves...it makes the air/fuel mixture real lean...any idea why I know this ???

Re: wolf whistle help If you are going to be using it a lot, open the GVA some.

Re: wolf whistle help You old 'farts' are wasting your time with the ubiquitous "Wolf Whistle".
For those of us who still have fairly good sight, any young chick who deserves a wolf's whistle, in all likelihood would not even know what it was, or what it meant. It is kind of like passing a sweet young college woman and saying "Huba Huba". She would not have a clue that you were giving her a positive approval of her good looks and attractive figure. Gentlemen, I have met the enemy . . . . . and he is us ! |

Re: wolf whistle help I have a wolf whistle on the tudor, and the old ladies love it in a parade, and I can make it sound like Curley the Stooge, so the younger people like that.
