Well, they aren't the big honkin' solenoid that Ford uses (and most racers do too), but it's better than the Chevy on the starter deal.
They also fail only rarely. I can't think of more than one or two I ever had to replace, compared to 30 or so Fords, and Chevy starters? Don't even go there!
Mopars do have the ballast and the EI boxes that do go out.
Ford's first EI boxes were embarrasing until the aftermarket figured out how to build them. The TFI was another mess, and GM 2.8 V6 EI dist. had issues. No one is perfect.

UPDATE:: 
After more PB Blaster, and a bigger rubber mallet, was able to get a set of horns working. Got them tuned up and mounted on the truck. What a sound 
heck I was honking it all the way home from work. Is the loudest set of horns on any of the 7 vehicles in the stable. thanks everyone for all the help, and Rod you were correct, in that the horn relay needed to be mounted to ground out the system. Nothing like that sound of the old hi/low tone horns
