Question on changing throttle bodies
Im doing a h/c install for a friend of mine and he is using some of my old parts.
I have a ported throttle body off of my 98 and he has a 2000 car. I havent been on much since I wrecked my car but I think I remember hearing somewhere that there is a compatability issue between different year tb's? is it something to do with having to chage the tps?
what has to be done?
thanks a lot

swap the cam gear over from his car onto the ported throttle body and it *should* work perfectly then. If you don't want to do that, then you're looking at shortening the throttle cable.

all i know is i just got a throttle body from summit 80mm and it supposedly fit ls1 / ls6 applications. i had to change the end plate that that the throttle cable attatches to (2 provided in kit) then because of spacer i had to lengthen the cable which turned out to be easy (thanks teke184 here on the board) my cable had a joint near the trans dip stick you just unclip and the cable adjusts the you reclip. very simple! good luck. hope that helps.
