where could I buy a vacuum relay control valve for the headlights?

 

Maybe one of the Toro guys can chime in.

 

You cant. Maybe from an old car, but as far as I have seen, you cannot buy them new. Planning on converting my lights to electrical actuators later on. Then you don’t have the issue with the vacuum relays or valves

 

Do you live in Portsmouth RI?

 

Call Fusick. The NCRS Corvette guys get them remanned. Vette resto houses are...Mid-America dot com Ecklers dot com. Or get onto the NCRS dot org website as a visitor and ask. Google Obsolete Parts. If you find them share it please. Or convert to electrical. No known kit exists that I know of but the Camaro 67-69 RS doors have an electrical kit. Might be able to graft?

 

Yeah I was wondering if the Vette parts might cross or adapt. I would think that the parts would not be just for a Toro.

 

Well I dont know if they are the same part but the vette guys have them remanned. I was thinking the Toros could get the same treatment if the NCRS guys will give up their source. A lot of the NCRS guys are doing the electronic conversion. After rebuilding the vac system on a 68 with the wiper door and head lights I see why... what a PITA.

 

Walter,

The corvette headlight controller works! It does not have a place to plug in the red hose from the headlight switch, but it works fine. I just plugged the red hose.

All my best,

Tom

 

Thats good to know. What is the corvette controller number? Can you still buy them new?

 

Walter,

I'll look at it this weekend and see if I can get you a part number. Send me your e-mail and I'll send photos of the part to you.

All my best,

Tom
