Everyone told me a 93 TB would work on a newer 4th gen as long as the car was a 6sp. I bought a Holley 93 tb (good deal on it) and it turned out they were ALL wrong. Not only is the cable hook up in the wrong place, but the cruise won't work either. I had to modify the cable connection point because my throttle cable ended up being a little over .5 inch too long so there was too much slack in the cable.

IMO, it's too much hassle to deal with. You CAN make it work if you put a bit of time into it but it's a PITA IMHO.....

BTW, I noticed you have two 93's. I'll cut ya great deal on my Holley, PM me if you're interested. There is a pic of it on my website in my sig....

The reason for the different part numbers and cable connection configurations lies in the fact that the 92-93 TB's have an additional connection for a TV cable since the 92-93 Vette's and F-Body cars 4L60 was not electronically controlled. This changed in 94 with the addition of the 4L60E.

I never though I'd see another person with two 93's!!! Right on!

You know how it goes, there's a sucker born every minute. j/k


My friend did it to a 97. He had to mess with it some, but he got it for like $75 or something rediculous like that. If you have got a good deal I say go for it.
