No such thing as a dumb question; only dumb answers. ;-)
The horn will work fine with an alternator. The explanation I heard was that early alternator diodes were susceptible to damage from voltage spikes coming from the horn relay. Ford therefore eliminated the relay and went to direct switching and low current horns when the alternator became standard in 1965. JL
