Thanks everyone for your replies. Potatoes video was the most helpful showing how to adjust the contacts
When I disconnected both horns, the relay was clicking pretty consistently, so I figured my problem was not in the steering wheel. I hooked up each horn individually and the driver side worked but the passenger did not. One of the bolts was stripped and I finally had to cut it off to remove the horn. Following the video, I took the horn off, removed the cover the adjusted as was shown. It took a million tries!, but it finally worked. I got new bolts from the local hardware and re-tapped the plate for reassembly. The horns work now, problem solved. Thanks again for all your replies.

Thanks for the diagram, Howard. That helps. Most of the time , only the low tone blows (driver side). Sometimes, both, not consistent.

I re wired from the steering wheel to the solenoid (Replaced) and now from solenoid to both horns.
Still working intermittently. It must be the contact in the steering wheel.

What parts in the steering wheel make contact to make the horn blow?

This pictures appears to be from the article Life magazine did about the 50th Anniversary Packard’s.
Does anyone know the publication date for this article?

All I now have to do is clean the terminals and attach the ground wire to the condenser nut.
Thank you, all for your replies. I can’t believe that we got my problem solved without profession help. I tried to be diligent in taking pictures before I took anything apart, but that ground wire was surely in the wrong place. Thanks again, you members are the best!

Ok, I removed the ground wire from the arm and it is charging now
I cleaned the terminals With volt meter, it was idling at about 6.2 and going to 7 amps when revving, Worked the same with the headlights on. Ammeter on dash was showing same result . With the car off, ground wire showed 2.3 ohms if I tested it right. What do I do with the ground wire now? I am going to clean the field terminals And attach the condenser to the arm.
