Looks good!  Be sure to use a good break in oil like Joe Gibbs break in oil and not just an additive

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Guys I need some guidance, I have tried getting this damn roll pin out of the throttle body that controls the tps and I can't do it. I've tried punches and drilling with no avail. I'm about to just buy a used throttlebody because I'm tired of dealing with this

Just my 2 cents. That's prolly from 1987...and the bushings and seals have seen better days. Contact Steve Monroe...and get one of his TB's. I swapped to one of his and instantly I had crisper throttle response and better around town driveability. Steve even sent it to me instead of waiting for me to send the core. What...you thot I ran one of those shiney 70mm TB's? Not fukn likely.

Now you've opened a can of worms. Maybe you should.
  if a 3in= 76.2mm maf is a restriction why is'nt a 2.44 in 62mm throttle body


Is suck and blow the answer and how is it measured

TB doesn't have screens in it (or at minimum 1 screen) so that has to come into this equation as well. 
Steve will definitely hook you up with whatever you need for a Fair price.  :cheers:

Ron...do a search on TB.COM...and tell me how fast the air goes through the TB AT 25 psi in MPH. Julio measured it. You'll find it in the alky section.

 What do I look for.
If you have a 3in hose feeding a 2in hose even with a pump where is the biggest restriction? you end up with more PRESSURE and heat but less volume.It would seem to me.

Well, I got tired of dealing with that stupid roll pin and gave in to a rebuild/machining through Steve monroe. Crazy that a 1$ pin costed me 150$ but at least I'll know the seals will be new and it will flow better.

Deciding if I'm going to port match the doghouse. I was too cheap to send it to him to do and I've never ported anything. I know it'll affect the flow but fuck it. I'll do it another time.

Just got a message from Steve. Great guy, I shipped it out Monday evening, he got it today, did everything and will have it shipped tonight. He also said that my seals were the worst he has EVER seen. That's crazy to think and I'll take it as an honor.
