JB Weld safe to use on TB blade?
When I first did my cam, a hole was drilled in the TB plate to help the idle(vettes dont have one stock). Now, I'm looking to do all the idle adjustments via the PCM and would like to plug the hole. The opening on each side is angled in to the drill dia. in the center of the plate. If I plug the hole with JB Weld and sand flat, will I run into any potential problems? With the angle, the plug can't move either direction, but if it breaks in the middle, I could see one or both sides being sucked into a chamber). I havent used this stuff very much, so any opinions are welcome.
Thanks,
Mike

I definitely wouldn't use JB Weld for such an app. Shoot me your address and I'll send you a blade. I probably have 20 factory Vette units in my shop. Just don't JB it, please... If it ever happened to dislodge, you could be looking at a new motor...
