I have been crawling all around this car for a few weeks and just realized I have not run across the horn. Where should it be? It doesn't work, so I cannot listen for the location. Thanks!

Just replaced mine with the commonly-recommended Wolo "Bad Boy" horn. Had to fab a small bracket (a few inches of 1" x 1/8" aluminum angle) to hang it upright, but otherwise a plug-in. It's louder than original but still the two tones. HF stores stock them. If you need to replace yours, this is a reasonable option.
A recent incident with a sleep-driver prompted the change for me. There are times when a freight-train horn is needed, but most times we just need a gentle toot to wake someone texting as the light turns green then red again.

On an early car, they may look more like these once you remove the splash panel in front of the wheel (ignore the aftermarket charcoal canister added as a federalization attempt).

Here's a photo of the horns in my old 81:

I know: Old thread. But I'm reassembling the right front fender on my '82 and I couldn't remember how the horn bracket attached and I found this thread.
And that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.
