We did a good bit on them a couple of issues ago in The Brickline.

Don't really know.  But what do you plan on doing with this car?  Is it to 
be a SHOW car or a driver?  If a driver - I strongly recommend that you 
convert to the air doors.  See the FAQ on our web page for the pros and cons.

One side of the horn's are grounded.  The other wire, dark green goes to
the horn relay.  One side of the relay is hot all the time.  When the horn
button
is pressed, it grounds the trigger side of the horn relay, the relay closes 
and applies power to the horns.  If you don't have power to the horn relay,
you need to check the fusable link it gets its power from.
