I am going to remove the vacuum canister and use that space for the intake. I had not though of relocating the battery; I do happen to have some 4 gauge wire I could have used. Oh well, this will work well enough but yours will look much cooler!

- 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

I just ordered my single input low profile plenum kit with the inline airbox:

I have my Fuel Injected Toronado. Life is good!

You can always return it, but I think yours will still look great with a single intake.
I'm also going to replace the clock on the dash with a 2" tachometer
I'd like to swap out the other gauges too ( temp, oil pressure etc), but haven't found anything in that form-factor. The speedometer is staying though; I love that thing. It was the beginning of my love affair with the Toronado.
