Re: Help needed: Fuel gauge pegged at FULL

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

Re: Toro Slow Start

I've had this identical problem for the entire 9 years that I have owned my 1968 Toronado. Everything was tried, except for one: an auxiliary electric fuel pump. Single-engine airplanes have these to draw fuel from the wings to the engine. Usually they're only used during starting, takeoff and landi...

Re: Hey mates newbee here with a question?

Hi Jab,

That's a wonderful car, your Eldorado. I'd like to believe that we TOA members don't exclude our Caddy Cousins.

Re: Winter upgrades on the list...

It would be reassuring to see two green LEDs on the instrument panel, indicating that both fans are spinning (o...

Re: Winter upgrades on the list...

The cost for my Toronado's dual electric fan installation was more than double your estimate. Aggravating factors included fabricating the custom mounting bracket for a solid professional installation and look, work to the radiator core itself including its removal and reinstallation, living in Miam...

Re: Winter upgrades on the list...

Since installing the electric fans, my engine temperatures have typically been: city driving: 140-160 (depending upon ambient temperature) expressway: gradual rise to 170-190 (depending upon ambient temperature) These temperatures are 40-50 degrees cooler than with the engine-driven clutch fan. I on...
