Do you mean musical notes?

If so, I can tell you my 71 is F, (both horns at 440 hz.)which is a very common note for car horns. So is A.

I can't tell you yours exactly, but if you have a musician friend I'm sure they'ed let you borrow a tuner and find out.

I would bet the 86 is the same. I will try to remember to look at mine when I get home. Might the note be a letter on the horn itself (saw it on some fords before...)

Look up "Horn" in the Fusick catalogue. It should say Right Horn F note and Left Horn A note or something like that. What ever note it says, is what your looking for.

Here's what it actually says and it's probably fine for an 88, but I don't know if that's what you want to do:


HIGH AND LOW NOTE HORN ASSEMBLIES:
Reproduction high and low note horns for 1961-75 all models. Sold in a pair of one high note (F note) and one low note (D note). Includes mounting brackets. Delco-Remy on horn case per original. NOTE: GM parts books show the low note is originally an A note for Oldsmobiles. These horns are a good service replacement for inoperative units.
H3911 Horn Assemblies 1961-75 all 123.00 pr.

My '86 has an A and an F note horn, both located in the fender by the battery.
The note letter is on the horn by the opening on the sculped terninal side. The other side looks like a sheetmetal cover.
The letter is about 3/8" high but is made of very thin lines. Easy to miss if they are dirty.

On the 86 and 88 the horn is hidden by the battery. Now I know that.
