Default Found this throttlebody fo sale, appears to be 85mm by the measuremesnts. Worth it?

Not sure if I should pick it up. I currently have an LS6 intake from a Corvette with stock cable tbrottlebody on it but I need this type to run the Bowtie Overdrive TV cable adapter in my LS Swap project (84 Firebird) No markings on it to distinguish it or otherwise identify it. Thoughts?

Bowetie adapter requires the style with the half circle on the back. My LS6 one does not.


Bowtie overdrives needs this style.



Mine does not have the circle part on the back.

I'm coming from a carbed application. This will be my first FI adventure so I have no idea. Guy says it's never been run. Decided to go LS3 intake instead so he has it for sale. I just thought I would ask to see. since there are no part numbers I can only presume it's a Chinese/imported knockoff.

I can't see an issue with tune with that on a LS6 intake. I'm pretty sure the 102 tb that I have was a cheap knock off. It originally would stick open a bit at idle. I kept putting a little 3 in 1 oil on the blade shaft and it works fine now.
