not for a FI application, the carb hats/plenums are WAY bigger than the elbow, no way it's going to fit properly without hacking up the hood and cowl

guys, a word of warning , this elbow will not mate to regular 90 mm TB's ( i have a nick williams TB and the bottom holes did not line up). i had to take the elbow to a machine shop that redrilled it to match the TB-- or you could just redrill the TB.

if you look at an edelbrock TB the bottom 2 holes are elongated , which leads me to beleive that they should work with their elbow ( it better work! )

on the other hand, the elbow fit nicely under my cowl and above my GM performance l92 carb intake. it required 0 trimming and had room to spare. it also has that devider in the middle of the bend to help deflect air more evenly into the manifold.

i recieved my elbow today and it has 2 sets of tb mounting holes. and it specifically says it will fit a ls1 style tb. maybe you got one of the first ones or you ordered a different part # than i did. but i havent mounted my tb on yet either!
