I bet it was wired into the courtesy light wire

I gotta ask about this statement the guy that looked at it made.......does that mean you need some elec. work?

"Kats66Pny" said:I know for sure it's not original type horn. Its one horn located on the left side. I can see where the original horns use to be. The wiring is still there.
I saw it hanging on the accessories shelf at the auto store and it had the same button that was duct taped to the column and same white wires and horn.
I went and looked at saw one white wire coming from the firewall inside up to the steering column to the horn button and another white wire coming from the button down to a clump of wires near the kick panel. It was taped into what appeared to be a black wire with blue line on it.
Oh, I'm sure it has more than it's share of crap done to it. I just mean it doesn't need to be fully replaced at this time. That can be a fair amount of work and very intimidating to someone who isn't electrically inclined. Since the car runs and I assume all the lighting works (she never mentioned any problems) I would say just get it all functioning correctly and then start to make it all "right" bit by bit."Fast68back" said:Take a look at the picture above and say that.... (is it ok to use multiple periods?)
"Horseplay" said:You can buy individual harness sections fairly cheaply if needed. Outside of the under-dash main harness, replacement is the ideal way to go. Not too expensive and very simple to install.
My original plan was to get this gauge set http://www.mpproductsstore.com/16me6gainbe.html or something that looks exactly like it.Unless you were going to switch back to stock gauges you would need to do some modifying to patch in the aftermarket set-up in the car now with a "new" harness.
Mark has a 66 Flea Market going on in his garage. :lolKat, the steering wheel is not the only old part I have in the barn, there are more!
Yea Kat, if you go up there he will show them to you. :scar"silverblueBP" said:Kat, the steering wheel is not the only old part I have in the barn, there are more!

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind!If you find you need an original style gauge bezel I have one sitting under my workbench. It's just the standard '66 with four gauges and a speedo.
Seems like a decent price for the whole thing. I believe it was AzPete who just recently got a different MP set for his stang and he liked it and said pretty easy to follow instructions for installing. I like easy install things!That is a nice gauge cluster, fair price as well. I would think you could barely buy the gauges for that price.
