I have a 1985 Toronado Brougham. Factory tires are P205/75R15. Can I put on P215/75R15 tires? Will it cause any problems with clearance and ride? Thanks, Tom That is the size on my 79, same size E car as yours: no problems. Bruce Roe Just pulled the receipt; to be perfectly correct, mine are TOYO 2...

I recently bought a 66 toro that runs fairly well but has issues at startup due to missing the choke. I've looked for replacements but have had a difficult time.. are there chokes for other cars more easily available that could work as a non stock replacement? would really appreciate any advice you...

Ok - so I'm switching my '66 single bowl MC and booster to a '67 dual bowl MC and booster. But I am keeping the 4 wheel drums. I am NOT converting to the '67 discs. When I look at the link I do not see a part number for '67 power drums. Wouldn't the '67 drum lines be different than the '66 drum lin...

For $185 for pre-bent, flared, ready to install, stainless steel brake lines, I wouldn't waste my time making them myself regardless of material. The original steel lines lasted 50 years. Do you really think you'll ever have to replace stainless steel lines ever again in your lifetime? The undersid...

Where do you get the nickel-copper lines? Sounds like a good idea. Jut search NiCopp or Copper Nickel Brake Line and you will find plenty. They claim it will not rust (get similar fittings. Works great with my double flaring tool, my 79 Eldo was quite a project requiring 100% new plumbing. Bruce Roe

I have started using the newer nickel-copper alloy lines. Much easier to work with
than stainless steel, much more corrosion resistant than stock steel. Duct tape
them up where clamped to avoid electrolysis. Bruce Roe

is the ignition module in that specific to the computer HEI? Or any other dist. internals for that matter? I would like to make my dist. work if possible.. I bought this car non-running, out of long-time storage... for some reason the dist. was in 180? Can’t understand how or why someone would play...

Its not a big problem at all. Here is the scoop. The 403 didn't quite meet emissions with the same setup as the other small block 350. So they put poorer advance curves in the HEI into the RWD cars for emissions, which hurt performance. They really needed performance for the heavy Toro, so they put ...

Can a 325-4L be beefed for the weight and power of a 1st gen Toronado? Lower 1st gear, OD, locking torque converter... Sounds like a dream. The 325 isn't nearly as strong. It also doesn't bolt up, everything is just enough different to be a problem. The engine would need to be moved more than an in...
