Horns are bolted throught the frame just ahead of the spring perch behind the lower valence. One hle for a 1/4 bolt right through the frame and another small hole beside it for the horn braket tang to fit into.

The horn is just attached to the inside of the frame in front of the heater hoses with a long bolt that goes through the frame.

Wow! mine are on the outside of the frame, under the pasangers feet closer to the door step well just ahead of the leaf spring perch.
Dons is likely righter then my van according to the parts book.
Mine dosn't bother air flow to the rad.

The grille is wider than the radiator, so even if you can see part of the horn through the grille, it won't matter,,,,,,

I just looked at a 68 and the horns are same place as Dons inside of the frame.
I recall now, mine must have been moved because I used to have the dealer installed brake booster mounted there.

So is your horn outside the frame up near the heater core tubes or lower by the spring bolt?

That area is my least favorite place on the van,,,,,,,working on those heater hose clamps is a pain,,,,,,Now how about that Vacuum Booster that was on yours? Now that surely restricted some air to the radiator,,,,,,,,

I don't know about that, I never drove it much enough to tell.
Ok how about this, Ive done so much to this van I can't even remember that I must have put the horns out there for more air flow because here is an original picture with the horns in the factory spot and the dealer installed booster.

So what is your take on the airflow,,,,,,,,,if you look in the grille, all you see is the floor,,,,,,,the radiator is behind the floor,,,,,,,seems to me the air hits the floor and is directed down and if you don't have the bellypan louvers flowing air up to the radiator, the air flows down to the axle and is drawn under the vehicle......

I built a tunnel, I don't use a belly pan, I have a big ford torus electric fan on the 2nd gen V8 cross flow rad.
I don't have any abnormal cooling problems.

I am talking about the stock 1st Gen set up,,,,,,2nd Gens have the tunnel,,,,,,,new vehicles have the fan,,,,,,,seems like the bellypan is the only thing forcing air up towards the radiator core and the temp gauge will start climbing if you are stuck in traffic, stopped in Drive with your foot on the brake, engine idling,,,,so if you ain't movin',,,,,,you ain't coolin,
