an old car like that should have only two wires. one grounded to the bolt for the frame and one hot.... is there more than two?

Thank You! Both wires have "homes" as per one in each horn. I got a bit longer bolt, chose a hole and the dual horns are back in place. Will have to use a J blueprint to see if I was correct. The relay is grounded, Thanks again for the reply. Doug
