1. Their isn't a drain plug. To get the grease out you'll have to remove the center section or use a suction pump.
2. The horn itself or the horn switch in the column?
3. I used a throttle cable off a Lincoln on my '71. Had to modify the bracket that attaches to the intake manifold, but it works great!!!!

You don't remove the center section to add rear end oil. There is a plug on the side of the center section, remove the plug and add rear end oil til it is just at the bottom of the plug opening.
The horn wires should be in the wire loom that goes to the headlights... Can't remember what color the wire is and my truck is at the other shop.
The pedal and cable was out of a '78 Mark V. Works great.
