Re: Car won't start..starts...won't start.
Well that was a proverbial pain in the old butt. I worked on it a majority of the day Friday and finally traced the problem to...yet another loose ground!!!! This time it was my fault, When I fixed the first loose ground I connected two wires with a crimp and didnt mash the metal together over the b...

Re: Car won't start..starts...won't start.
Thanks for the ideas gents, I am on my way to get a new coil momentarily. I tested the old coil for spark and it looked very weak to my inexpert eyes. I think a previous owner smashed it in a fit of rage, But that is pure conjecture. When I got the car it had some few signs of previous work. The oil...

Car won't start..starts...won't start.
I have a weird problem with my 66 Toro. It gradually has been running more rough and then got to a point where it would not start, then I got it started now it won't start, again. It ran well enough last summer after I replaced several things like fuel pump, lines, broken/smashed distributor cap, po...

1967 Parts Car. Disc brakes etc.
I spent a little time getting into my parts car today. I had a suggestion to remove my steel wheels as they will sell. I was surprised to find underneath the front pair a set of disc brakes staring at me, I had no idea this car had discs. Since I've already worked on my 66 brake system (all 4 new dr...

Here is a pic of the back chrome ( reminder I may keep the emblems-- almost all of mine were missing).

Re: 66-68 Toro Speed Control Dash Units
Doc, here is a part I removed from my 67. As you can see it looks different. What I am sure of is I did unbolt it from the same cylinder shaped object as show in your next to last pic you posted. So I can guess: 1. There are different varieties of AC units and mine is different. 2. ( more likely) Th...

66-67. Manual Choke wanted. TRADE?
I always liked manual chokes and my auto choke isn't doing that well ( I suspect a previous owner had modified the carb.). I remember reading some of them came with manuals and wondered if anyone had one they didn't need ( cable and all). I have a parts car so willing to trade equal value item. Chec...

Re: 66-68 Toro Speed Control Dash Units
Hello Doc, I've made some progress since yesterday, once I figured the trick to the wiper arms. The first pics is what I have removed ( washer motor, carb. Air breather dual snorkel type). The motor appears to FROZEN, I tried to apply 12 v , 6 amp current as per youtube video and it just clicks. The...
