Re: Eldorado brake calipers
Thanks Mikel - my only experience with them is on the various BMW M cars I’ve owned over the years.

Re: Eldorado brake calipers
Goofy question here for those in the know as I start collecting parts for my front-end rebuild: any thoughts on using drilled/slotted rotors vs. standard one-each smooth ones? Rock Auto has Dynamic Friction drilled and slotted rotors for about $70/each. Seems like a no-brainer to spring a few extra ...

Re: Everybody's Toronado Just Got More Valuable
A little silver lining in an otherwise really crappy dark cloud for sure!

Re: Everybody's Toronado Just Got More Valuable
Otto - read your story with a lot of sadness and recollection of a similar incident I had. Back in the late 90s, I was driving my ‘67 to work one day. It was a drizzly, humid, NC coastal day; I had the a/c running and all was good until I also smelled that familiar acrid electrical burning smell. I ...

Re: Leaking Rochester Carburetor
Roland - reach out to Greg “Sparky” Kalkhoff. He’s a Quadrajet restoration expert and did my ‘67’s 7027131 carb. JB Weld works on the well-plugs but it’s by no means permanent. I believe Sparky has his own technique that is truly permanent. Tell him I sent you!

Re: Eldorado brake calipers
Definitely easy enough to swap the Eldo lowers in so I’ll just plan to do that. Appreciate it, Mikel!

Re: ‘67 425 Spark Plugs
Thanks Otto - absolutely agree with no Champions. They seem to burn too cool for our cars. Years ago I tried e3s or one those other fancy multi-electrode plugs with terrible results. The Autolite 85s were rec’d to me by Sparky Kalkhoff back in the mid 90s when I first bought my car and they’ve been ...

Re: Eldorado brake calipers
Mikel and all, Just obtained the front end and all brake plumbing from a '71 Eldo. Will start disassembling the parts to take to sandblasting while obtaining all the new stuff I need (bushings, rebuilt calipers, rotors, bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends). My car is still with my restorer but assum...

‘67 425 Spark Plugs
Hey Folks,
I’ve always used Autolite 85 spark plugs in my ‘67. Engine and tranny just went back into the frame on my years-long resto, so checking-in to see what others are using as it looks like I’m getting closer to firing her up. Thanks in advance!
