I have had this problem more then once. Especially when you paint
everything nice and purdy.
On one Bugeye I did just what you said, run a separate ground from the
rack to the frame.
For a test, just try hooking up a temporary ground to the steering
wheel, if the horn blows, you found the problem.
The 67 I am working on had this same problem. After a few miles of
driving, the steering column ground magically came back all by itself.
The rack *should* ground where it bolts to the frame, but it's mounted
on rubber gaskets. I ran a small wire from the grease nipple to the rack
bolt (tastfully done with black wire as not to be noticed) this did the
trick.
