Horney question

I have a 1968 that I am rebuilding. The assembly manual shows 2 horns mounted near the front of the hood but my car only has 1? Is it supposed to have 1 or 2?

Hi O,
I believe 68 cars had 2 horns; a low note on the driver's side, #9000245, and a high note on the passenger's side, #9000246.
Regards,
Alan

Iteresting thing is that there is not even a hole for a bracket to mount that would hold another horn. Is there a year of C3 that only had one horn on the drivers side near the middle bewtween the two headlight diaphrams?
