79 corvette alarm system

I have a second alarm system on my 79 vette. It appears to be maybe dealer installed. There is a key in the left fender that moves a cable to lock the hood. It has a hood switch and a battery compt switch. Also has a motion box installed under the hood. When i try to set alarm it has a seperate siren that is very loud. Has anyone seen this before that may have some info on the system. Thanks Dave

Mine too!! Or I assume it does, when I turn key to the left all the way it triggers the alarm. (A horn) Haven't really got to experiment with it yet. Do you have any info about how the factory alarms are supposed to work? I have a 79 also.
Sorry I can't help you with your question!

This alarm uses a seperate horn to your car horns, it is mounted behind the water bottle in the left guard, hard to get to and see, if your alarm doesnt work this is the first place to look/test.

Enjoy, Dennis.
