Relocating horns
Want to relocate horns - one gone out - to an easy to get to place. Anyone have suggestion? Is it as simple as just making some extension wires with male blade end on one end and female end on other end of extension and just connecting to new location? Obviously, electrical things are beyond me.

just bought a set of horns at harbor freight for $9.99, while shopping for inexpensive tools
it may go into the headlight area, my horns are not working, very weak at best, i just don't know how to reach them to unplug them

Slickfx3- If you raise your hood and shine a light in the opening between the hood and nose, can you see the horns fastened to the roof of the nose assembly? Should be a little on the passenger side of the center of the car. You may be able to reach in to unplug them, but if you really need to work on them with good access, the hood needs to be removed. I was able to reach in and remove the old (inoperative) horns by reaching in the opening between the hood and nose of car, but it is really tight. Installing the new horns required removing the hood, since I could not get two hands in at once. Should have done that in the first place. RA

slickfx3-my Motorbooks Workshop restoration manual says for 1982 they are located behind the grill on the outboard side of the headlights, instead of inboard like on my 68. could not find a photo. RA
