throttle body thread

[Gnocide]

looking get some info out there and updated as well.
since Every stock TB will leak eventually
(your iac numbers will go single digits when its bad, the inner tube test will blow soap bubbles out of the side too)

what are the options?stock vs 52 vs 58 mm- which and why?
who sells them/ rebuilds them?
can you use any bbk, Holley ,summit brand and just re use your factory linkage?
nobody want to blow out a tranny from improper linkage adjustments like some had with TB spacers.


thanks in advance

Re: throttle body thread

Not sure if this information is useful, but there is a company in Iowa "high flow injection" or something that I believe will rebuild them.

Re: throttle body thread

this is useful-
we now have a vendor on this
http://www.highflowfuel.com/search-5.html?q=bbk

do you use the 52, or 58 mm?
also 89 to 92 tpi
or
92- 93 lt1?

will our linkage bolt up?
will it have its own linkage?

Re: throttle body thread

Might want to get yours bored out & overhauled?

If you are all stock & increase to a 52 MM sized TB, most likely will not see any gain. 52 MM bolts right in. 58 MM requires boring the holes in the upper intake manifold to fit.

I figure, if you are going to get it overhauled, might as well bore it out also, not going to hurt anything.
Only thing might happen is with a larger bore TB, your throttle might be a bit touchy tip in/transition from idle to letting in more air will increase air intake quickly. I am not good @ explaining these things. Hope this makes sense.

will our linkage hook up to this?
and is linkage swappable on the summit or bbk one?

My suggestion would be for you to contact that vendor & see if they will bore yours out.
Does not hurt to ask.:2cents:
