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.

FYI the brake pedal link is floppy and will drop down in the image but you will have no problem hooking it up to the brake pedal.

Good work on identifying multiple options. I do know that these will fit better if they do not have the accumulator; no exhaust mods will be needed. However, we will have to see if these units will in fact fit; by obtaining a used unit cheaply it might be possible to test before ordering. That was how I was able to determine that I needed a new master cylinder; I tested with the old one from my Eldo and once I knew it fit I went out and bought one.
I have my Fuel Injected Toronado. Life is good! 8-)
