Hallo from Germany,
how long are PUSH ROD for my 1966 Toronado ? I ned only one , in the shop I have one with
243,7 mm - 9,59 "
239,3 mm - 9,42 "
and one "standard" ??? - " ???

what du you mean ? witch one ist for 1966 Toronado ?
Thanks Wojtek

 

According to the one catalog i have here it should be 9.594 so the firs one you listed.

 

so I have another catalog and I have a two possibility , the difference ist 4 mm !!!
thats a problem ...

 

Toronado 425 cubic inch engines and 4-4-2 400 cubic inch engines had 0.921" diameter lifters which were also taller than the 0842" diameter lifters used in the 88 and 98 model 425 engines. Therefore the Toronado engine takes the 9-7/16" long pushrod while the 88 and 98 take the longer 9-5/8" pushrod.

 

I have lifter 0,921
so i need the short one of course completely set or would you change only two ?

 

Inspect the ball ends for wear, roll the pushrods across a flat surface to check for straightness.

 

So I guess you have the old pushrods ? what length are they ?

 

Yes, that would be my plan, but the car is 100 km away, so I can't do it until Monday because the garage is locked now. But as I said, I also want to measure the length so I don't make a mistake.
By the way, do you know of any companies that sell individual only 1 or 5?

 

You should be able to order a single one from almost anyone.

 

Ok thanks
what about the ⛽️ price in USA ??
in Europe is now really high and everything from day to day higher

 

$4-5/gallon. Diesel is higher. Stupid. Dont care. Everything I own gets 10-20mi/gallon. Have to have a V8!

 

Meh. My DD has a 2.5 liter engine producing 120 horsepower per liter and a 6 speed manual transmission. Absolutely a blast to drive, so don’t worry about gas mileage.

 

This is really not expensive
in Germany one gallon costs 9,5 $

 

Hello everybody
So the engine is rebuilt, I have a very good engine, perfect running and only two problems
The one of them is vacuum system and lights and the second one is air valves and kickdown power. I opened another threat about that


For everybody for the help once more time, thank you very much
Best greeting from Germany
