Craig,
Take your horn button off carefully and disconnect your horn from
that point. From what you describe, it sounds like the horn button is
stuck. When you disconnect from the horns themselves, your horn relay is
still active and probably the thing making the clicking noises you are
hearing...
I'll check on one of my '68s (luckily one is up here in my garage instead of
down at my parents place!) to see if I can find your wiring questions.
Good luck!!
Eric
