There was a special episode even though I forget what it was all about .
About the horn - I have the return from the horn connect to a plastic
something at the top of the steering column. and have run a wire from the
horn button to the ground connection on the near side of the coupling ( does
it ground through the bolts? )
But, as far as I can see there is no connection from the steering gearbox to
the body ,there seems to be no place to connect it neither on it nor on the
body( screw etc. )where exactly does it connect ?
also, thanks for the tip about grounding the bumper I think thats were it
lays.

Was there a special episode or is it just a continuing joke, as in
"Helllloooo, NEWman!"
Hard to remember OR describe. In a 69: Hot to the horn. Return
from the horn goes back to the steering column where it connects
to an insulated bearing thru to the steering column itself (so yes,
normally the column is at 12 V. The horn ring switch connects the
column to a wire that runs down the hollow column and across the
(insulating) flexible coupling, connecting to the steering gearbox
shaft. The steering gearbox has a ground wire from its top to the
frame of the car (since the front axle beam is otherwise insulated
from the body by its rubber mounts.)
