Re: fuel efficiency

I get about 13MPG, with a one time best of 15. If fuel economy is a big concern, buy an econobox and THEN your Toronado. I think you will find that my numbers are more common than those getting 20MPG. Having to rely on a 45 year old vehicle to get you to work every day can be very frustrating.

Re: Another disk brake thread

If I use all of the '76 Eldorado suspension, can I retain the Eldo axleshafts... Will they bolt to my '66 TH425 diff? Since '66 axleshafts are hard to find, this might be a good thing to switch to. Thanks.

Another disk brake thread

There is mid 70's Eldorado at my local junkyard. I'm tempted to graft the front and rear brakes into my '66 Toro.
