Default Throttle body porting

Ive 96 Dakota with 5.2L V8. I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to port my throttle body out. Im pretty much mechanically inclined I just dont understand some of the terminology for the parts in the throttle body. If anyone has step by step instructions with pictures it would be helpful. THanks.

It is better to buy a new one. The butterflies (The round things that move when you press the gas) they need to be fully sealed against the body. It is something only a machine shop can do. Go to http://www.thefastman.com/Throttlebodies5x.asp www.ebay.com www.summitracing.com
