Just wanted to give some feedback on some of the suppliers i have used to get my Toro parts.
On EBAY: Skip White performance.
I bought a chrome fuel pump and a Brand new HEI distributor for about $60 each including shipping . They came fast and look great. I haven't fired the engine yet, though.
Fusick auto
Radiator mounts and radiator hoses also came quickly and were reasonably priced. they fit well.
I am getting close to starting my toro. thanx for all of the tips

- Years Owned: Owned a '69 back in about '77, this cat was a legend in the Nebraska panhandle, it was very fast even for it's size. It would absoloutly fog the front tires from a standing start; I don't mean spin them, I mean just boil 'em from a standing start for at least 100' (measured)! I know what you're thinking, they weren't old rag tires they were modern Yokohoma radials. I'm sure this car would have ran 150mph too because many times I had the cruise set on 135 with 1/2 the gas pedal left. BTW this was in the middle of nowhere Wyoming.
I'm finally about to start work on my '66 that I've owned for 10 years. I plan to make sure my '66 425 runs just as strong as my '69 455 did. I hope to be doing some write-ups for the Driver as I go through the '66. I'll be updating it with disc brakes, electric fans (gasp), good stereo system, battery in the trunk etc., etc. as time and money allows.
I also may be building some new wheels with the correct offset, etc. - Location: Hastings, Nebraska
Re: toronado suppliers
Keep a close eye on that chrome fuel pump; they're notorious for cracking.
I think the chroming process makes them brittle.
