Rich,
I am not an expert on the Toronado but I will try to help...

If you put an electric fuel pump on the car make sure that you get one that is limited to 5PSI output. The factory pumps typically fail totaly. If you are getting fuel sometimes I would say that you have water and/or trash in the tank that is pluging the brass sock on the pickup tube in the tank. The only filter from the factory is in the carb where the fuel line screws into the body of the carb. There is no filter in the pump. There is a brass filter sock in the tank. Ther is no drain plug in the tank - only one way to do it... Pull the tank.

The vacuum switch was the same for 1966 and 1967. I have heard that the switch in the 1968 and 1969 can be used. The switch in the 67 and 68 Eldorado may also work. You may also check these cars 1968 and 1969 Camaro RS, 67 - 70 Riviera and 68 to 80 Corvette. I am not sure if they are the same or if they can be made to work. Check EBAY you may find one for the Toro.
