When the last guy took out the horns in my 72 Cuda he just cut the wires off by the horns. How would I splice the female ends onto the Dark Green/Red wire that is hanging there so that it goes to both horns. I have an idea but everyone's input would help.
Also would anyone have a picture of how they are mounted on the radiator support?
Thanks

Hmmm, that explains the hookup. Pretty straighforward. Wouldn't mind seeing a picture with the Spartons mounted, though.
Thanks Bob

Really hard to get in there with the car assembled, but the horns mount on the header panel vertical support, facing the driver side. Here's the driver side view:

And the passenger side. Once you get everything in place and play with the positions it makes sense. HTH.

Thanks for the help guys, I got 'em in and really no big deals since the mounting bracket has a little tang that keeps them from twisting on the header panel support. Just had to look for a big hole with a little hole next to it.
Now I just have to get a horn relay.
Thanks

Bob (Ucudant),
If I'm not mistaken these are the 72-74 horns that they used on the Cuda. One Hi and one low. edit: They are painted with Krylon satin black which is REAL close to the black plastic that the "horn section" is made of.
