The horn gets its ground from the wire going to the horn button on the steering wheel, and unlike the headlights, the horn is not electrically grounded through its physical mount.
So, the ground goes to the wire bail and connects there. The other wire to the horn goes right to the battery connection on the generator. If you replaced the generator with an alternator, the things to check would be (a) did you stay with 6-volt positive ground? (b) is the alternator a single wire connection or some other configuration. If it is a single wire, then the battery connection should go to the output of the alternator just like it would on a generator. The "hot" lead of the horn connects there too.
