Years Owned: My first Toronado was a 1968 W-34 with the bucket seats and center console... (weeps gently) It was a New England rustbucket in 1982 after less than 14 years. So sad. But it is what infected me and before I knew it I had another '68, a '69, a '70 and eventually inherited a friend's '67 and another friends '73. After buying my brand new Grand Prix in 1988 I retired the last of my Toronados and pulled the 455 I had rebuilt along the way and put it into storage in a friend's barn where it is to this day.
In Mid September of 2010 I happened to see a repeat of the show where Jay Leno did his 66 Toronado and had an instant remission of the disease which resulted in my purchase of a 1969 in very good condition. I am now in the process of fully rehabilitating it and hope to have it on the road in the spring of 2011.

I went with the JM 20-22 cam from Mondello; the last time I did this I used the JM 18-20 cam. I now know that there is just enough more lift and duration to reduce vacuum levels to a point where the brake power booster will not work well necessitating an upgrade to the Hydroboost system from a late Gen 2 Eldorado. Other than this the JM 20-22 is incredibly strong and I have yet to really test it and it is pulling like mad even before I can get into the secondaries on the Q-Jet as I am still breaking it in. I will update as I have more progress to report.

Very happy with Mondello so far!
I have my Fuel Injected Toronado. Life is good! 8-)
