Hooked up my horn, ready for inspection...

This should be a link to the album, the old horn i took off i guess its original it has a ford bracket bolted on the radiator. What i did was put the new one on lower, ran some new wire with the parts I got. Put a drywall screw to temporarily hold the fuse regulator thingamajig.
Now this truck used to be 3 on the tree, and I guess when they made the conversion to the indy hurst shifter they already did the temp horn thing cause its a button under the dash and not on the steering column. So thankfully i was able to use the existing button and ground and wire going through the firewall so i didnt have to run new line.
It works, its ugly but i just want this badboy to be street legal I just got my new plates today :D


One last question, there is this black thing in that photoalbum that the ground wire off the horn button is plugged into, the fuses look like tubes, what the hell is this thing I tried to get a close up picture. also I cant find the link to tell me how to post pictures in the forum heh

Ok the first one I dunno what that is, random thing. and the second is what the horn button ground is going in to. I will take better pictures of it tomorrow. Also the fusible wire going to the prong regulator thing, did i do it right by placing it right on the battery or should I be doing it on the thing going to the positive terminal. Sigh i cant think of the name of that part

It passed ! He said i needed a light for my back liscence plate and new wipers but he passed me anyway.
He gave the signal to honk the horn and it wouldnt work..... Only works when the vehicle isnt running lol, what a mess
