My throttle blade are gettin a wee bit wobbly. I would like to correct this before i start making custom proms, however I cannot find any information (or parts) on this subject. I just need a pont in the right direction. btw it is an 86 t/b also i remember there being diferences about MAF and S/D t/bs, any one know what these are? I am running this one as S/D.

 

very nice engine! You wouldn't happen to know the paint color or paint code of that red would you.

 

its duplicolor metalcast anodized red

 

thanks!

I know that when it is professionialy done they remove the shaft and drill holes out so that bushings can be installed. I've never had one of the TPI throttle bodys apart but I know that alot of carburators had replaceable bushings once you removed the throttle shaft.

 

thanks camaro 90, thats what i figured, just wondering if anyone had tried it before, i dont wanna accidently open up an air passage or somehing. I imagine everyone just buys a bigger throttle body.

 

ebay--air intake and fuel delivery--tpi The ad I usually see is about $149.00

 

THanks Rob but i am not looking for a rebiult t/b im looking for the bearings so i can seal my throttle shaft

 

I found these instructions when i did a search. These are for boring your stock throttle body larger but same should apply to you.

You know I wonder if you can buy the replacemnt parts for the throttle bodies because I havent seen anywhere that sells them.

 

That is a cool looking engine.

 

Thats what this guys has done on ebay. If you read the auction the shaft bushings are replaced with sealed bearings which is the standard repair. Click on his ad and click the "ask a question" link and ask exactly what he does. I don't think you have to get it bored, he should just be able to fix the throttle shaft play, I would think.

 

Thanks guys I preciate it I let everyone know if if find some bearings or what not.

 

Throttle bodies are certainly cheap enough, I see them sell for $20-$40 all day. Maybe just get a used one that you can check for wobble first?
