That # is only listed as fitting 58 Ford fullsize.I do not have an Edsel catalogue but if it looks the same it is likely the same item used on Edsel.In my parts book there is not a clear illustration of the complete column and wiring etc.It may be helpful if you got hold of a 58 Ford shop manual.Likely shows detail not in parts book.Sun, 13 Dec 2009 18:10:18 GMToldcarmarkhttp://www.y-blocksforever.com/forums/Topic36074-9-1.aspxI have a "Horn Wire terminal Support & Wire" (NOS) part #B8A-14308-A. It was recommended & obtained as part of a 57 to 58 steering box conversion which I've posted about on this site before. So I'll not repeat it all again. Suffice to say the conversion as far as the horn is concerned, went off the rails! My question is, does anyone have a parts or interchange manual that will tell what the part is supposed to do or fit? I thought that it was possibly a replacement for a worn 1958 horn contact ring. I have here what is supposed to be a 1958 horn contact ring & turn signal assembly, (also a 59 Edsel one that appears identical) but it does not appear to fit them. What does it do or fit? Any help appreciated. ThanksSun, 13 Dec 2009 15:37:06 GMTPF Arcand
