If I quit spending $$ on parts, I could probably afford an interchange manual.
I hope your out there rocketraider. I changed Operating systems & lost your address.
Mine is a 66' Toronado with a stock steering column. I finally found another Toronado in a local "J" yard. It is a 69'. It has a tilt-telescopic steering column in it.
Will it fit?
Unfortunatly the narrow brake booster had already been grabbed. I still need one to finish the disc brake conversion (hint.) If you can help, as always it is greatly appreciated.

Other than the 69-70 steering column lock/ignition and the difference in the steering wheel itself, any 66-70 Toro column will bolt into the car. Get the whole column including the intermediate shaft. Then you'll have two keys to keep up with!

2230 EST <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Just got some updated info on the 66-7 interchange. There is some difference in the underdash mounting bracketry that will require modification to make a 67-later column work in a 1966 car. I also had forgotten to mention the 67-later columns are collapsible as required by federal crash protection standards. So based on that, Streets, it looks like you will need a 1966 column.

Thanx again to my 66-67 reference people for helping me make sure my info is accurate!
