tps for 305 TBI?
Ive been looking for a tps for my 305 tbi firebird for 3 weeks now.I ordered 1 from autozone.com and 2 weeks later they canceled it because they can no longer get them.The dealer keeps telling me that the part has updated to a different part but it looks nothing like mine and theres no way its even going to bolt up to my throttle body.Anyone have any ideas?

What year is you bird? I have seen 2 different TPS on LO3's, a flat one on the older ones and a round one on the later ones.

89 probably has the flat one. Looks like discontinnued, only options, check in the classifieds, jy, or finde a 91-92 TB with the round connector one. Turbocity sells a oval to round adapter.
Best is also to replace the aluminium screws that were used with the older flat/oval connector, with some normal screws. The aluminium ones are wery fragile.

Re: tps for 305 TBI?
you can get the flat style still, I almost bought one from oriely auto parts, but they are more expensive I think somewhere around $70. I ended up using a round connector TB instead, and the TPS was much cheaper.
