Re: Eldorado brake calipers

Question to Bruce and all: I'm pondering a front disc brake conversion on my '67 Deluxe but really hate the idea of having to swap wheels because of the clearance requirements of the discs/calipers vs. the original drums (and I have two sets of chrome drum wheels I don't want to give up). My local ...

Re: Comfortron

The power servo is mounted on the heater box, near the wiper motor. It controls the whole system based on a variable vacuum input: Blend door (temp control), fan speed and mode door (air going to the feet or the front vents). Providing that variable vacuum to the power servo can manually control the...

Re: Comfortron

Re: German imported -66 headlight problem

Most of the vacuum hoses you see are from the Confortron (The A/C / heater system). The headlight plumbing is fairly simple. IIRC, one vacuum line going into the switch, two going out before being split into the two headlights canisters.

Good luck!

Re: Hello from Germany!

When I was at the vintage auto races at Road Atlanta, some guy took a bunch of photos of me driving around and put them on a website. A friend of mine just came across them by accident. The author obviously didn't know anything about Toronados but his pictures are good. http://www.car-revs-daily.co...
