Re: 1966 throttle cable assembly
The two spring are a security. Those are design to push back the accelerator when you remove your feet from the pedal. Original design have only one of these, but if it happened to brake, you car will keep accelerating without any possibility to lower it down. More recent car must have two springs. ...

Re: Brand new Olds Toronado owner
Ok thank you Otto and Tuco, this is what I found so far... We all agree that the transmission line goes to that green input where I have a tee. Dashpot for the throttle goes to intake vacuum, so either on a plug at on the intake manifold as shown on the diagram, or to the red bolt that we have on th...

Re: Brand new Olds Toronado owner
On the first picture, yours seems to be connected to the transmission modulator line. This is the answer that I got from a Facebook group : Tim Hubler You're all wrong.

Re: Brand new Olds Toronado owner
Great, I think that now I understand everything, tell me if I'm wrong :) So it seems that the vacuum on that bolt at the rear of the carburetor is a part of a 67 CCC option so it should not be here.

Re: Brand new Olds Toronado owner
Hi, I need you help, I'm trying to figure out where every vacuum line goes. My Toro have just a heater and no AC, no K19 either. From what I saw on the book, I would say Dashpot on the red, the blue that is going to the transmission goes to the green but I have a tee here. So does the vacuum advance...

Re: 66 Parts For Sale
Hi Tuco, I'm looking for some parts missing on mine, any chance you have the two green pieces that are missing on the picture ? Also the red one is quite rusty, the is the only spot on the car, do you know if it can be changed, it seems to be a part of a bigger assembly... It's on the passenger's si...

Re: New guy looking at 1966
The problem with a T is that the control actuators will always be working and not go in lock position.
