Re: Center Brake Hose
Or just build your own hose using "DOT-approved" Teflon liner under stainless steel braid, and perhaps some generic fittings. Not "correct", of course...but very functional. Rear brake hoses are reasonably similar--they usually connect to 1/4" tube at the front, and a pair o...

Re: Sprucing up the brakes on my '92 Toro
Any chance you pulled the pistons out of those calipers before you painted 'em? You'd be amazed at the crust and "ick" that grows inside calipers. Last set I did ('92 or '94 K1500) the square-cut seals had a film of rust on them that I had to peel off with my fingernail. Once that was done...

Re: 67 Toronado Signal Indicator Cam Replacemnt - Tilt / tele
So I have repaired the cam in my signal indicator switch. My 1967 Toronado has tilt / telescoping steering without cornering lights. Turn Signal Switch Part No. 7805676 (I believe.) In my case the cam had become loose causing the turn signals and the brake lights to not operate. Since a new turn si...

Re: Alignment
Well, I guess I'd better take good care of the bearings that are on it now! Rock Auto shows front wheel bearing for 1966 for $20. Is this the correct part? Should I order a couple just to have them on hand? https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/oldsmobile,1966,toronado,7.0l+425cid+v8,1346396,brake+&a...

Re: Alignment
'66, '67, and--I think-- '68 use a different wheel bearing that's all but discontinued. The last I saw, they were only available from specialist parts sources, and they make the later bearings look inexpensive. An EXCELLENT reason to switch to the newer, single-piston disc brakes on the older cars, ...

Re: Alignment
I'm sorry you're having problems with this car. Failed inspection - too much play in the front wheels - just like bad bearings although the bearing have less than 1k on them. I couldn't argue with them - they showed me the "wiggle" up and down and back and forth on the fronts. It's there. ...

Re: Alternator identification
I wouldn't walk across the street to pick up a free 10DN externally-regulated alternator. Swapping to a 10- or 12SI internally-regulated alternator is SO easy, provides about double the output with a significant boost at idle, fits like a glove, and is dirt-cheap. You'd need a $6 pigtail with plasti...
