Throttle body is nice..if you have other mods. My 52mm is nice. I did notice some improved throttle response but not much and it didn't help with gas mileage. Maybe someone with both could weigh in on this. I think you could have put this in the regular section btw.

Fix your plenum and get a 14x3 air cleaner, if you want an better throttle body, get one from the guy who sells ported ones on eBay.

And on a side note...How in the hell does JC Whitney stay in business? Last time I got one of their catalogs it had the same crap in it that they had in a 2002 catalog I found.

I was going to say, most of that crap went out of style in '74. I'm just not old enough to say that!
