Original throttle body coolant setup.
Can anyone provide pictures or a diagram of the original setup for the throttle body coolant lines used to prevent freezing of the throttle plates? Based on what I was told the SI at the dealer only dates back to 1996 and I can't seem to find anything in my Chilton. Thanks.

Re: Original throttle body coolant setup.
The water inlet on the front of the TB needs a little "U" shaped rubber hose that connects to a fitting on the front of the intake manifold.
The water outlet on the TPS side of the TB has a short hose running to the heater bypass valve, located right at the front of the bank #2 valve cover.
I think my description is better than the picture.
