66 toro tilt/tele steering column

Was the 66 toro column used in any other cars that year or any year? I have one, like most of them with turn signal issues. The turn signal actuater is broken and I either neeed to replace it or the whole column.

Help!!!

My actuator was broken too. I took it out and superglued it. Let is sit clamped for a few days before I reinstalled and it has worked for 2 years now.

I think it's the same until 69, and Eldorado probably as well, HOWEVER there are several variables:

Tilt? yes
Cornering lights?
Cruise? (may not have been avail)

Someone wiser will come along, but check here: http://www.toronado.org/

and search the site

Nice thought but i found mine in too many peices when I opened the column. There is bound to be a source that the rebuilders use but getting them to release it... Now there's the challenge.

overwhelming indeed

I'm not even to trying to locate a switch yet. Actually the column is installed in a custom stepside chevy truck I took on to restore. I also have a 06 Corvette. I've been a member of Corvette forum for several years now and I knew when it came to Olsmobile products, you guys have already been in the trenches and would have the answers. I hope you don't think me to be an imposter and I appretiate the help I have gotten so far.

Did you get an extra center logo cap for that tilt/tele that you would like to sell?

Cool

I'll have to check with my body man. I was out of town when it arrived and it was taken straight to him before I saw it. I do know that it came without a steering wheel so that leads me to believe that it probably didn't have a center cap also but I'll check.
