Those plates go under the grill on the rear deck. They keep water from running down the deck lid hinges.

Re: Distributor Cap/Spark Plug Wires

Turn the ignition on and check to see if you’re getting + voltage at the coil. Are you sure that the dist. Is in the right position? Even if the firing order is correct, you could have put the wires in the wrong spots. Check for TDC and make sure the dist. matches up. Also check the points. They may...

Re: Distributor Cap/Spark Plug Wires

Get rid of the points and put in a Pertronix. You will also need the recommended coil. You won’t be sorry. And you’ll never have to mess with points again. Look for them at Summit Racing.

Re: Vapor Lock on 1966 Toronado

I’m not sure about all circuits. And I’m not sure that I have any experience with Daytona but I’ve had to adjust the idle air mixture on just about every carb I’ve had done. The latest was on a 347 Pontiac that I rebuilt. Got the carbs back and ran the engine. It was lean and running hot. Adjusted t...

Re: Vapor Lock on 1966 Toronado

Have you adjusted the idle air mixture? That can cause excessive heat too. Just a thought.

Re: 1988 Toronado Shudder/Misfire

Re: Car Shuts off on steep incline

If it turns out to be the pickup in the sender I was able to find one for the 66/67 Eldorado that worked fine.

Re: Car Shuts off on steep incline

Nope. That’s not normal. It sounds like a fuel problem. At first I would say fuel pump but since you replaced it... Maybe the pickup in the fuel tank is getting clogged.

Re: 66 interior fabric

SMS is where I got the materials for my 66. They also have carpet, headliner and trunk materials too.
