Great looking car!!!! Hey, I noticed something and thought I'd send a warning. Your horn relay hot contact is sitting just below the torsion spring for the hood........maybe even rubbing against the insulator. I had a similar condition on my 63 Dart and it turned into a nightmare one day. Horn started by itself with no one home and by time a neighbor warned me, I had a complete wiring harness meltdown on my hands........ I got home and the wiring harness, firewall forward was completely melted down........and the car was turning itself over.........the starter relay had melted......... When I rewired I added an inline fuse to the horn circuit since the stock wiring offers no other protection. Anywhoo.....I'd check and make sure there is some clearance there. Evidently Chrysler realized the problem, on later OEM horn relays, they mount differently and sit lower on the firewall. Kevin |
