air horns and NAPA belt tension gauge

[tom240842@...]

Hi all,

Well we are finally getting down to the wire and will be leaving our
permanent parking space here in Cincinnati. I have a laundry list of little
things
that need attention, things to be cleaned and run and repaired.

I tried out my air horns and could only hear a 'squeak' out of the left
horn, nothing out of the right one. Climbed the ladder, and looked in side the
left horn and it had a mud dobber nest in there. So I took a coat hanger,
straightened it out, and disintegrated it, then blew it out with air, and it
now
works. Nothing still out of the right horn still and is clear of any nests.
Any ideas?

I bought a NAPA Krikit II V, belt tension gauge and the scale on it goes
from 100 to 320 pounds of pressure in 20 pound increments. How do I know what
is the right tension of my alternator/compressor double belts? When I put
the gauge on there, it "pops" at 160 of pressure, but then this is where the
yellow 'gauge indicator' starts at. Any guidance on this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
