I didn't see a horn relay in the wiring diagram, so I assume you're adding one.
Tyco/Bosch makes the best relays, and if you also get a socket you won't be sorry.
The sockets have wires so you don't have to bother with adding plug-in connectors.

You can buy a stock horn relay from any Napa auto parts store.

I checked napaonline.com and they only have the horn relay connector (part #ECH ARC100) listed for 72 Darts. Hmmm...?

Checked with my local Napa, with very knowledgeable owner, he said the horn relay went obsolete.
Most any relay will work if connected properly. The thing is back in about 1980 they added a diode in the relays to prevent a spike that would kill the modern electronics. To hook up the relay wrong will blow that diode thus killing the relay internally.

Do you know the part number on it? If not can you post a picture of yours? I acquired a bunch of NOS parts but no idea what they fit. I found some horn relays (at least that's what they look like). If I got one I'll make you a good deal on it.
