1972 Cutlass gauge lights not working

I just got a 1972 Cutlass with a 455 in it. The previous owner cared much more for the engine than the interior/electrical. And now I get to put it all back together again. The main issue I'm having right now is the dash gauge "night lights" not working. The gas and speedo themselves work, the turnsignal lights work, but not the rest of them. Fuses are fine, bulbs are fine, and the plugs are giving power, but still no go. There is currently nothing where the clock was, and the radio is missing. Is something in the circuit missing? Under the dash I found this silver bullet looking thing that has a teardrop shaped bracket coming off the side and an orange wire leading to an in-line fuse,connected to a grey wire. This bullet thing is not attached to anything. What is that? Also my horn is not working. I replaced the relay yesterday, no go. I know I asked alot of questions. Whatever answers you could give me would be great!
