i purchased the 80 mm for $186 plus $11 shipped. its polished, easy to install, the vent tube points up so my rubber hose from the valve cover goes over / above the throttle cable instead of below. easy to adjust the throttle cable just a clip near back of engine, (next to my auto dip stick) loosen / remove clip. it self adjusts, then reclip. i'm no mechanic and it was simple. i'm happy!

My experience is that you get what you pay for. Many of these inexpensive TBs have small diameter shafts and bearings, and are made in China? I tried a certain brand and sent it back. I ended up buying one of the new Holley throttle bodies. Excellent quality and built to last!
