These valve stems will NOT clean the caliper on a 1978 Eldorado. Presumably they will be problematic on other Eldorados and Toronados. The bend is not sharp enough to clear the caliper compared to the original part. Don't buy unless you're in the mood to spend the day taking a tire off a few times. At least the pads came in handy. I just replaced the gasket with the cracked one on the stock valve stem.
