- 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. - Location: Gig Harbor, WA

Well, the rod was thrown because the new EFI system worked so well it was hard not to get my foot into it... I knew there was a potential for a thrown rod as I reused the bolts but I did not account for the prior rebuild. That pretty much ensured that the EFI would encourage me to kill the motor...
I have my Fuel Injected Toronado. Life is good!

USA PartSupply overhauled my fuel sender a few years ago. I am very happy with their service. Forgot price.
