Anti Theft System
I'm thinking of attempting to revive my system. Was wondering who has journeyed down this path before me and what it took to succeed.
Has anyone documented their journey? If so can you post a link to the thread?
Thanks in advance.
I have a 76.

Why bother? The only way to PREVENT theft or damage is for you to stay close enough to actually SEE your car, and to not take it anywhere 'risky'. Once you have a Corvette in nice condition, you cannot leave it unattended [or un-garaged] and protect it. Vandals, idiots, etc. fill this world and your car will draw those folks to it.
If no one is around protecting it, fools will do damage and then run away. That honking horn will do nothing to repair the damage. Don't waste your time and money on fixing a system that is basically useless......unless you are striving for a high-level NCRS award. For that, the system would have to function as intended.

Go to the 'SEARCH' tab above and click on 'click for advanced search'.
Type in 'Anti-theft'
Then pick 'C-3 from the drop-down menu and you'll find many posts.
If you have a specific question post back and someone will help with an answer.
Edit: type in 'anti-theft alarm system' for more results.

Hey, if you just love tinkering with the car, go for it!! It's a pretty simple system: plunger switches on doors and tops; the switches make 'ground' when something is opened, completing the circuit to power the horn. Key switch to activate it. Knock yourself out....

The other problem may be the horn itself. it is located behind the driver rear tire. Not the best place as far as water or dust. Test the horn.
Let us know how you do.
Thanks Steve

Throwing away the alarm siren horn on my 75 was a guilty pleasure. Then I fished it out of the garbage and installed it inline with the normal horn up front.
As a still living highly active motorcyclist who bought his 1st streetbike in 1985 a good horn is key on any vehicle.
