  1. Hi Everyone I am hoping someone has a 1970 Fisher Service Manual and can take a picture of a page for me. Looking for the wire assignment for the power seat switch (example attached.) Mine is a 1966 Toronado "E" body with a 6-way power seat. The complete unit has failed and I was able to acquire a unit from a 1970 Eldorado. It works with the wiring and switch the seller included. However the wiring and switch are slightly different from the 1966 Toronado and I am attempting to get the Eldorado unit to work with the Toronado switch. One difference is the large orange wire that is power on the Eldorado unit (pic attached.) Your help is greatly appreciated.
  2. Found one. For the archives-1970 Camaro, 69-70 Wildcat, Impala, Catalina & Cadillac used the same GM # 993904 kit.
  3. Thanks for trying Chris. The more eyes the better. Have a Merry Christmas & New Years. Dave
  4. Thanks Chris I'll check in with you on the 20th. I appreciate your help. Dave
  5. Thank you hursst. I'll check this message board on Sunday, 12/15/19 for your message.
  6. Hi Everyone I'm looking for the rear defogger grill for a 1969 Impala. Research shows GM B-Body cars are candidates as long as they have vent # 1231119 as pictured. 1969 & 70 Caprice will not work. The GM accessory kit # 993904 is what I have. It did not come with the grill so I'm not sure if it is plastic or metal. If you have one you would like to sell & ship, please email me at: eaglenst27@earthlink.net Thank you.
  7. Looking for Carb # 7027131 for a 1967 Toronado. Must be complete and no warpage in bottom plate. Rebuilt or rebuilable. Reasonable price. Thanks
  8. Hi Guys doing a rush job on my 67' Toronado and have the parts stores confussed. Would anyone know the inside diameter of the inner & outer boots? Also what is the socket size for the axle nut? These would be a great help. Thanks alot. Streets/Dave
  9. Hi Again Joe, thanks for the quick reply. It started out as an Autozone off the shelf rebuild for about $250. When I found out there was a problem, I sent it into a professional rebuilder in Phoenix, another $150. After the head gasket fiasco and the fuel pump problems resolved I am know in Illinois with no recourse I would agree the choke and primary rods would have been the problem, but I had a friend of mine send them to me off a stock Toro. They were a little longer than the Autozone rebuild.It runs a tad better, but no where like it should. Oh yea, another issue is this carb has no numbers on it.-Just want to give up and get it right.
  10. Hi Guy's It's been a while since I posted due too replacing the heads (ordered from afar,) gaskets and fuel pump, I am ready to get her back on the road, but need your expert opinions. Mine is an original 1966 425 cu. in. 375 HP with a 4-barrel Quadrajet. Been there & done that on the rebuild (twice.) Idles great, but absolutley "No Power. :mad: I have tried AFB's & Holleys, unfortunately they would not clear the hood (adapters) and admit I have no idea how many CFMs it takes to run it right (Guessing 700 :confused: Being very close, please give me some suggestions that have worked for you. As always, Thanks in advance. Dave/streets
  11. E85 is what I might have seen Brian. I am in southern Illinois now and don't recall any fuel pumps that don't mention at least some quantity of Ethanol in them. This could be a problem. If the fuel pump was damaged by it that means the carb may not be that far behind. If I can find straight fuel from now on, it seems close to impossible to find a new fuel pump and carb for that year that is Ethanol compatable. I will still give that pump rebuilder a call when I have a chance this week and see if they can help. My original thought was I could resolve this at the least expense by getting a new one from NAPA or AutoZone. I learned something here. Ethanol is a factor. Thanks everyone. Walter, there are no known defects in the column. It's just probably old and is shorting out the ts switch. I see by your work on the vehicles you have that your not afraid of a small task. Very nice job on the Lincolns. If and when you dig into it, more than likely the original wiring can be repaired. If you decide you just want to replace it, I know a few good resourses.
  12. Hey Walter & Skip, your last posts have me recalling a few facts. The pump/engine/carb were new NOS or rebuilds 4 + years ago in Arizona that uses no more than 10% Ethanol. We shipped the car to Illinois 11/2009 where I have filled it up since. Pretty sure the percentage is higher. There is only one section of rubber fuel line about 2" long. I will replace it, check on the website you gave me Walter on an Ethanlol geared rebuild & see what they say. In any case, I never considered Ethanol a factor. We are supposed to get our first snowfall tonight here in southern Illinois, so I am relearning what frigid is again Skip. I put a tilt-telescopic in mine last year Walter, so if I can be of any help with parts or labor know-how, please let me know. Thanks guys ! Dave
  13. Hi Walter, thanks for the response. I wish I knew my carborator terminology better. What you said makes sense as well. It would seem to me that the float acts like a check valve and could have been missed on the rebuild. If there is no way to maintain pressure there, I could see how it could leak out. The see through filter throws me off though. It looks like it coul be leaking back down towards the pump. It was new 4 years ago and it may have deteriorated from lack of use. Thanks for the advice on an electric pump/ I know they can be tricky. Hang on to that Toro- with Oldsmobile apart of history now, they may be worth more later. Dave
  14. Hi Everyone, I have a 1966 Olds Toronado with a 425. The carb has been rebuilt twice and still fails to hold fuel for starting after it sits a week. We but an inline glass filter before the carb this time, and noticed it has no fuel. Priming it with gas down the carb & cranking it many times pulls it up and it runs fine. Could this be a bad diaphram in the pump? And would you recommend an electric fuel pump? Your thoughts are appreciated.
  15. Hi Chad1105, WELCOME! I found out (a little to late) Oldsfan works with GM. If he doesn't or can't respond soon, you may want to checkout: ebay auction # 180156007513. dith612 lists GM PN#'s 8732651, 9812749 & 9813200. This auction states: 68-74 GM Convertable window rollers. The company is called Homepro. Although original GM parts are the way to go- you may find this information usefull. This company has 2 rollers for about $15 bucks. They are 1" OD rollers with 11/32" stud X 1/4" 20 thread. Maybe not what you need, but I have bought several appications from them in the past and they will answer your questions. Hope this helps, Dave / streets
