I should remove the steering wheel and get a better one. And no making fun of the horn button, we're still working on the horns.

Good looking dash!

Horn......thought it might be a bobble-eye thingy.

What are you doing for horns? I have a new set of Hella trumpet horns but need to further research proper relay/wiring procedure before installing.

Your horn "shorts" to ground.... so using a relay.... your lead from the horn button goes to # 85 thus becoming the "switch". Get my relays from SPAL (you'll have to shop for supplier) because they are GM Weatherproof sealed versions suitable for exterior use... and have long leads already. Hook 'em up and go! Two horns -- just run the power in series using a jumper from one horn to the other.

What he said, except my AAW kit has the relay built in. I ordered a single Dorman from Summit, since I don't know that I 'need' two horns. If it sounds like crap, I'll get the second one.
