Default New throttle body

I just installed a new intake and a 4 bolt TB.
My old TPS (throttle position sensor) and ICV (idle control valve) does not fit.
Is there a new replacement that will my old wiring?

Default tb

Both tps and icv do not fit into the new throttle body.
Will the new tps and icv fit my old wiring?

Default done

With all these aftermarket parts, we have to watch out for fitment.
Solved my own problem by grinding down the shaft on the TB to fit the TPS correctly.
Ground down the edge on the idle control valve to fit the TB.
All is well.
