Default Installing 4 barrel TB

Got my Accufab 4 barrel throttle body in.

Can anyone give me some pointers on what it takes to install a carb style
throttle cable off an '85 Mustang. Any brackets I need? ect?


Check it out ......... Kick ***

so does that mount where the throttle body originaly was or do you put it ontop of the lower intake like a carb setup would be. probably hvaing to get a diffierent lower then you already have.pretty interesting.

It comes with its own GM style TPS and IAC, they just aren't mounted to it yet.
Had to go spend $100 on the little freak'n plugs for them from local Chevy dealer[:@]

Yep those are LS1 coil packs[8D]

You will need one bracket that goes on your intake to hold the *casing* i guess you would call it for you can move the throttle. you can make the bracket if need be or just get an adjustible one from Lokar
