66 Toronado headlights

[Guest]

I just got a 66 toro for my teenager's first car. I need some guidance on getting the headlights operational!!....schematics?...parts list...general info? Thanks, jos45@swbell.net

Link to the OCA website (sidebar to your left) then go to Chapters-Specialty and link to the Toronado Chapter website. I think there's a couple tech articles in there on the 66 headlights. Someone was reproducing the actuator springs, which are the cause of most 66-67 Toro headlight problems. Could also be the vacuum motors or the headlight switch, or a broken vacuum line somewhere.

There may also be some Toro headlight tech on 442.com .

I have a 66 Chassis Manual and don't mind copying stuff if you need it.

In addition to Toronado chapter and mail list, there's three OCA chapters in Texas, any of which would be good support in this Toronado adventure.

Teenager with a Toronado? A bit of advice- buy the highest-mileage rated tires you can get for it and keep 'em rotated. 66s tend to eat front tires... Surely you didn't think I was implying the kid would light the tires off once in a while <img src="/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> ! A confession- I'm 46, and every once in a while I'll vaporise my 69's T/As, especially if there's a smart-ass street-racer wanna-be in a Honda around <img src="/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif" alt="" /> .
