Exclamation Horn blows when turning

My 65 220 sbe coupe, has a wierd problem. When I am turning the steering wheel, it activates those powerful twin horns. It seems to be affected by the shift lever as well. What could be causing this connection? Any ideas, anyone? Thanks a lot!

Pretty common problem, do a search and you should find some threads to solve it...here's one from a different model but should be applicable since the wheel is the same:

You'll need to remove the steering wheel, pull the upper steering column bearing plate and replace the pair of upper shifter shaft bushings.

Happy Motoring, Mark
