Looking at parts gathering for disc conversion. My car is a 67, spindles are from a 69. Looking at master cylinder/booster combinations on RockAuto and there are different units listed for 67-70 and 71-78. The 71-78 are cheaper. I don't mind flaring new hard lines. Is there a meaningful difference b...

Thanks!

Thank you. Progress already: I vacuumed out about 2 gallons of rodent and rabbit droppings fron the intake manifold valleys and spliced a dozen or so wires back together and, using just a jumper wire and a gas can on the fender, got it to run for the first time!

Read Drum Lessons thoroughly as it explains the ins and outs, no better description can be found as to what and how to do a Toro disc brake conversion, there are times when the best way to do something is sta...

Much like the bajillion threads out there on the interwebz, I'm looking to convert my 67 Toronado to disc brakes. Cost and availability are the recurring themes as are pointers to the "Drum Lessons" website. As helpful as the site is, it proves the adage, The more you learn the less you kn...

Hello all. Just wanted to make my first post before delving right in with questions. I acquired a 67 Toronado "ran when parked" likely 10 or more years ago and obviously before a rabbit and rats took up nesting in the engine bay and ate everything remotely chewable under the hood. Will hav...
