TB Interchangeability?

Will a TB from an 85 Caddy Sedan deVille 4.1L work on a 305? I recently came across one for free so I took it. Is it any good?

I belive the base is the same but I am not sure about the injectors or regulator. The base would be the same size as stock with the smaller bores. The 454 unit is the only GM unit that is of any value.

so I would have to bore it out to get the same size as the stocker, too much work for me. I guess that i'll just stick w/ the stocker and do the ultimate mods to it.

I would just stick with what you have. I am pretty sure the caddy TBI motors had the same size bores at 1 11/16".

the bores are the same but the connections aren't all the same & one of the vacuum hookups is busted. Well it looks like I have a practice TB for when I decide to do the ultimate TBI mods.
