Installation Part 4 - Fitting the Throttle Body

49. Pick up the throttle body. Note that one of the four

mounting bolts has already been installed, and the
throttle stop was installed afterward. This effectively
traps the bolt. NOTE: The throttle stop has been preset
and the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) has been
calibrated using this throttle stop. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU DISTURB OR
ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE THROTTLE STOP!



50. We will test-fit the end of the throttle cable first. Look at

the black plastic bell crank (18.1) on the throttle body
and note that a hole has been drilled to accept the pin on
the end of the throttle cable. Note also that a slot has
been cut to allow the throttle cable to be pushed into the
groove in the bell crank.


51. Hold the throttle body (18.2) in your left hand and use

your thumb to push the pin on the end of the cable (18.3)
into the hole in the bell crank. Some cleanup of the hole
or slot may be necessary to get a smooth fit.


52. Work the cable through the groove so that the cable can

wrap around the bellcrank.


53. Once the fit is satisfactory, remove the throttle cable

(leaving it in the car) and return to the bench with the
throttle body.








54. Find the other three 5/16-18 X 1” bolts included in the kit.

Fit a second bolt to the throttle body so that both of the
lower holes have a bolt (19.1).

55. Find the two square manifold gaskets for the throttle

body (19.2).


56. Put a dab of tacky gasket cement (not provided) on the

throttle body and place a square manifold gasket over
the two lower bolts (19.1) with the tab (19.3) on the
gasket “up”. The tacky gasket cement is used to hold the
gasket in place, not to help the seal.


57. Put a dab of tacky gasket cement on the modified heat

shield assembly and place a second square manifold
gasket over the four bolt holes in the heat shield. The
tacky gasket cement is used to hold the gasket in place,
not to help the seal.
