Vette(s): ' 76 Customized .Mid year rear window ( ' 67 style ). It has an '80 nose,'80 rear bumper , and a 76 hood . Also , I squeezed in a ' 94 Vette LT1 . Paint is a custom mixed BLACK with RED PEARL mixed in !

AND, JUST WHEN YOU THINK ALL'S WELL ........

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY A COMPLETE HORN ASSEMBLY KIT FOR MY ' 76 ? ANY CATALOG I'VE LOOKED IN SAYS THEIR KITS AREN'T FOR A ' 76 . SO, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, YOU RIDE AROUND WITHOUT A HORN ?
WHEN I MOVED THE WHEEL UPWARD ( YEP, TILT AND TELE COLUMN ) , THE HORN BUTTON POPPED OFF . GOT IT BACK ON, BUT NOW, IT'S AS IF  IT IS SOLID MOUNTED . DOESN'T MOVE NO MATTER WHAT I TRY .
ALSO, WHEN IT DID BLOW, THE HORNS SOUNDED ODD, AS IN SHORTING, OR NOT SOUNDING AS LOUD AND CLEAN AS SHOULD BE .
SO, AGAIN, ALL HELP IS WELCOME . THANKS GUYS !! Clap

The 76 is a one year only horn button......with the odd-ball steering wheel.
What you might try is locating the horn set-up from a Monza/Vega, as that is the type steering wheel use on the '76 cars.Adams' Apple2007-09-13 19:49:04

I MIGHT HAVE TO TRY GIVING CONTEMPORARY CORVETTES A SHOT. I'M SURE THEY HAVE MORE THAN ONE ' 76 THEY CAN TAKE THE PARTS FROM. OF COURSE, THAT'S NOT SAYING THOSE ARE ANY GOOD EITHER ! Unhappy

Vette(s): 1982 Black, ZZ4, Hooker Side Pipes, 3.55 Rear, Rebuilt & upgraded 700R4, All new suspension, brakes, & new Charcoal interior.
The car is such a hybrid now why stop at the steering wheel, change to a different year, just kidding.
Sounds like it just may need adjusting the horn parts and cleaning the contacts may do it, just my 2 cents.

NO IDEA WHO DID THE BACK WINDOW, AS , THAT'S THE WAY I BOUGHT IT IN ' 94.
AS FOR THE HORN PARTS , IT JUST SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IS MISSING . I'VE LOOKED AT THE ASSEMBLY DRAWING , AND AM STILL SCRATCHING MY HEAD OVER IT. I DO KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS NOT PUT TOGETHER CORRECTLY.
THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR LETTING ' NON VETTE ' MECHANICS FIX THINGS !!! Thumbs%20Down
