Joe... i think you need to place this thread in the pre 84 forum.
I recommend that you firstly start with taking the horn off, or testing it on the car like advised... that way you can figure out if the horn is okay or not... then work backwoods.
The horn may only need some adjusting, i recall on an old car i had in my younger days that they needed oiling...im not sure now..
yes do that please....
Then if you know the horn is okay, then work on the wiring system.
I have the wiring diagram for my 69 Vette, i can copy it at work and give you a copy... it should be the same..
OK...;27

Assuming you have checked for the obvious stuff like a blown fuse I would say Michael is on the money in my opinion.
Get a schematic if you can and follow the wiring and see if you have current at different points to pinpoint where the problem is. Check to make sure the horn button has a good contact and then see if you have power at the horn and work your way back from there.
You should be able to do this with a test light and then go from there.
I'm sure a few of the other guys here will chime in.
