First, do you have the nice color schematics, found here. http://www.advanc=
eautowire.com/tr2506.pdf
I'm no electrician, but have had pretty good luck. Looking at the purple ci=
rcuit on a 76, it does seem there's a connection with the horn and the flas=
h-to-pass switch. Could it be your horn relay is going bad, and sending neg=
ative back up thru the purple wire, and it's making its way over to the fla=
sh-to-pass/dimmer switch, causing your lights to blink? Do they blink 'on' =
or 'off', and does the horn also blow?
Be aware that the headlight circuit is not fused or even protected by a cir=
cuit breaker, so you could be treading in dangerous waters. You'll see the=
brown wires are a direct connection between the battery and the headlight =
switch, and also provide the 12v power to the purple circuit which is the '=
always' on fuse (horn, glove box, hazard flashers). So this is all definit=
ely related.

Sorry I was not too specific on describing my problem. It is the headlight=
s that blink when I press the horn button. I've had the car for 18 years, =
daily driver, never had an electrical issue until now, other than a bad
starter and alternator.
