The horns, at least on my 74, are in the cavity underneat the hood
extension. You can get to these and other things under there easily by
removing either the air scoop (I like this method) or the front bumper
(Tanner's method, but he has an extra guy -- Larry). The horm may well
be just a dirty ground. Gently remove the horn button -- the whole
plastic assembly prys right out (not the button alone but the ring
around it also). Be careful not to break the wire. On mine I carefully
undid the wire and took the button assembly off. Then it easily comes
apart. I steelwooled the contacting parts -- I also steelwooled the
place inside the column (where you remove the button) where the gound
touches. Voila, a working horn.
As to adding the 74 "features" -- I have been spending time (like John)
just figuring out how to bypass the seatbelt interlock -- a feature -- I
don't think so. Kim
