You have the #174 mounted perfectly!! So many times the special "off beat" flash pattern of the Super Beacon is not realized because of inproper mounting.
An electro mechanical siren under the hood. It's a B&M S8M9.. You can still purchase that piece of histroy new from B&M sirens in California. It retails for around $1350.00 usd. The current model of this siren comes standard with a siren brake. Mine does not have one..It's a late 60's model. The 1967 Superior also has an electronic Federal Intetrceptor siren box. Check my other videos to hear the B&M siren in action. It coasts much longer than Q siren with it's brand new bearings! Enjoy!

@MrIMBECILE1 . Thanks! I don't think folks realize how it's suppose to be mounted. It is quite an effective warning device.

Great looking Ambulance! Awesome Beacon! I have a 2 bulb and a 4 bulb, but mine just rotate. Reminds me of the blue one on Hawaii 5-0.

Yeah, same light as the one on Hawaii Five 0. Very cool indeed!
The Federal 174 is otherwise known as the Super Beacon Ray.
