Air horn reservoir
I have the GM Power Pack compressor and I have the GMC Dual Air Horn kit on its way.
Normally I think the air horn would have a little tank with a check valve as a reservoir. The odds of me finding that separate from the horns is pretty slim, so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a period-correct-looking alternative. Remember this is pressure, not vacuum, and has to take up to 150psi. Does anyone make a fist-sized tank with an integral check valve? I don't want the air shocks to bleed down when I hit the horn, so it needs the check valve.

Re: Air horn reservoir
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121146805630 This is a solonoid I used between the reservior and the horn. I believe the check valve is in the compressor. My setup goes, compressor to tank to solonoid to horn. I just removed the stock horn, connected the solonoid wires to the two wires that came off the horn, thats it..
