That sounds like a good plan. Glad to know you're making progress. The stencil is a perfect idea. I got my car about a year ago from a long term storage. I replaced all the fluids, tires, blasted and painted the wheels, went through the brakes (they were pretty new) overhauled the headlight actuator...

I did a search for 'transfer lettering' and found these: http://www.dickblick.com/products/chartpak-vinyl-letters/?clickTracking=true&wmcp=pla&wmcid=items&wmckw=27210-2025&gclid=CPj50J2Fm9ECFRlWDQodo0kLQQ Not sure they are small enough. If not, you'll need to look for smaller, but I ...

Don't be afraid of the vacuum lines. As I recall they are color-coded with a colored stripe on the vacuum line and a corresponding color on the port. They are numbered too. Mine is not Comfortron. Take photos and notes so you can remember how it goes back together. I used Rustoleum wrinkle paint tha...

I restored the cluster on my '66 this past spring. Removal is pretty straightforward. Lower the steering column- two nuts on studs. Be careful not to overtighten on the reassembly- one of mine snapped on me and I had to drill it out and replace. I think they might be shear bolts, because it snapped ...

Love this car, but have too may projects and not enough space...

My apology if this has been covered elsewhere. Are 66 and 67 outer CV boots the same? I found a listing on Rock Auto for 67: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=387660&cc=1346217&jsn=__GIX__2__ I also found these on Fusick for a 66: http://www.fusickautomotiveproducts.com/prodinfo.as...

Great overview.

Thanks

Otto, saw this one on eBay. Less $ but still pricey. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-1966-67-Oldsmobile-Toronado-Transmission-Throttle-Control-Downshift-Switch-/321963731776?fits=Year%3A1966%7CModel%3AToronado&hash=item4af688ab40:g:PRQAAOSwT~9Whi6N&vxp=mtr Bruce, can you please explain how the s...

Otto,

I thoroughly flushed the transmission....ran about 30 quarts through it, after first dropping the pan and replacing the filter. The radiator had been apart recently (seller's comments and physical evidence) and I pressure tested it and the cooler thoroughly before reconnecting it to the system. Foun...
