Good grief!
Re: New guy looking at 1966
Hi !
Yes, there is three, one is the input, the second, the output for the vacuum actuators and the third is for the control assembly that lock the shaft of the actuators in place and are released to let them going down. I hope my explanation is clear
Check the pictures below. I'm not sure you can do it without the third one.

Re: New guy looking at 1966
I wonder if the 3rd could be T'd off the output to the actuators and control assembly?

I was hoping someone could answer that, they said it was for the Toronado, seems like they would more info.
Re: New guy looking at 1966
It seems difficult. I just remember I saw a post regarding this switch : http://www.toronado.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1549
I hope it will help

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. It nay not be a problem if the car stand still but when on the road, the bumps and movement of the car may make your headlights to move up and down. You need a system to keep them lock in up position until you switch them off. If you want more info, I can do a diagram.

That's what I figured.
Mine were working when I got the car but one wouldn't close. It turned out that the T under the reservoir was disconnected.
