Does your horizon have the large caging knob? I had to install one of
those in a Tripacer that our flying club owned.
I also installed a 4-inch venturi on a Cub, to drive a turn and bank
indicator, when the FAA decreed that all students had to get primary
panel experience. At Cub speeds, it required a 4-inch to be able to get
2 inches at the instrument.

No glass panels ever! That was my single objection to the C-130J. I'm
not at all comfortable with an all-electronic instrument panel. Nice in
fighters where weight is a consideration or if you are enamoured with
razzle-dazzle technology. Flat-screen radar displays, yes. All you need is a
small EMP blast and your instrumentation is toast.
I still have the suction-operated artificial horizon. Found it in a
large lot of Taylorcraft parts which my dad bought that was found in a hangar
loft.
