My main concern (believe it or not) is the WHEELS! I have the cool original chrome rims on my car and like the Cord look they provide. My first question is: What is the EXACT difference between my drum type rim and a disc rim? And from What year or years can I get a 2 rims that would look like the o...

DO NOT use braided steel hose or line for the brake lines. The brake lines must be DOT approved brake line. Which is a double wall type of metal line. It dosnt seem like it, but a LOT of pressure builds up in these lines and an incorrect type line or hose could burst which could equal something TRAG...

Are you talking about where the forward part of the rear leaf springs bolt onto the "frame" These Toros seem to love to rust here. I would love to see a picture of what you did as mine as some rust there. Not horrible, but it needs to be fixed. Also what guage and type of steel did you use...

I have a 66 with cornering lamps and tilt. I replaced the switch about 10 years ago, found an NOS one. I recall that the swich was some type of stationary switch mounted piggy back on the column and the turns signal lever itself activated a cable that attached to the switch. Maybe they changed the d...

Your axle shows the outter boot i am talking about. Its the replacement type with ONE fold in it. I've found that this pulls off or tears pre-maturely. The inner boot is the original, but NOT the outter. Here is a pic for comparison of what an original OUTTER boot looks like. Note one axle looks lik...

Definitely more then 1-2. I could email you a picture of an original 66 half shaft. I bought them YEARS ago from a Toron...

Amazing with all these Toronados and ANY year is the same boot that noone responded. I guess noone else has ever had a problem with outter CV boots tearing/pulling off. Id really LOVE to know what kind of axles your all running!!

I didn't mention the carburator because you said you put a rebuilt unit on so I'd assume that was working ok thus I ruled it out. SOunds like your flooding up!

I've had some people tell me "Oh your car is just like Jay Lenos except it's Turquoise" I correct them and say "Jays Toronado is like MINE, I've had mine since 1984" LOL I've had mine first!!!

luckily old cars are easiler to diagnose then the complicated newer EFI cars. Start with basics. Air, Fuel, and Gas. I always say "as long as we're breathing we know the engines got air" LOL That said, check the following: Make sure your distributor hasn't rotated due to a loose hold dont ...
