Hi
GT500 Horn does not work, ran wire directly from horn to battery and both horns work that way, took off horn button and connected wires and horn is very quiet, barely comes on, ideas?

Sounds like high resistance in the wiring from battery to horn wire or from horn wire to the horns.  Possible spot would be the turn signal connector to steering column or one of the connectors to under hood harness. Could also be dirty or bad horn switch wipers at the back of the steering wheel.
You could try measuring resistance between the cold horn wire and the horns, and the horn hot wire to battery (battery  disconnected).
Also the 67 wood wheel is known to have problems with the horn wires internally where they solder to the contact rings on the back.
