69 Camaro Horns.....Direction Facing Front or Rear
I have seen most but not all 69 Camaros with their 289 and 290 Horns installed so as the opening is facing forward. I have been told that the 69 Camaro assy manual shows them facing rearward. Can those with a 69 assy manual please study it, possibly scan and show it, or otherwise tell me what they SEE.......

Re: 69 Camaro Horns.....Direction Facing Front or Rear
Here is a photo of a correct installation on a 69. They seem to face out, not necessarily forward or backward

Re: 69 Camaro Horns.....Direction Facing Front or Rear
The terminal on the horn that the wiring hooks up to faces the rear and the horns face forward like in the pic. If you flip floped them around the other way the wiring on one side would jhave to go over the top of the horn to connect up. Above pic is the correct way.

Re: 69 Camaro Horns.....Direction Facing Front or Rear
Jonesy, I've had them facing FORWARD and facing REARWARD...and either way works without doing anything wierd with the wiring.....The above attached picture is too dark and not conclusive.......
I will forward this to Shaugger, Henderson, and others for more opinions...was hoping to HEAR or SEE what assy manual SHOWS!!!! Regards, Chuck Sharin

Chuck
On page 156 of the 1969 Camaro Factory Assembly Manual, UPC 12, Sheet A5 it shows the horns facing what would APPEAR to be REARWARD.

Re: 69 Camaro Horns.....Direction Facing Front or Rear
The horns on my 69 were facing forward in 1980 and were never off the car. The high note is on the pass side and the low note is on the drivers side right now. I just got them back fronm the horn works and Gary even said the reason why most of these horns dont work is because they were forward facing and took alll the elements into them.
There is a difference in wiring (whether you believe it or not)if you exchange each side. The factory assembly manual shows the drivers side wiring going to the rear of the horn. If I was to take the pass side horn and put it there it would go towards the front side of the horn and it would be a stretch for there to be enough slack in it to hook up.
