        That would be my TB in the pic there. I can't take credit for it though, as I originally got the idea from Turbo2255b, who was a former member here. Still running that TB on the HO Merc.

          When I swapped my arms, I just drilled a little hole and used a little self tapping screw.

              The empty hole is the old one, I take it? Comparing that one to the one 87 posted....assuming the one he posted is a HO tb. I'm very much liking the idea of doing as little modification to the machinery as I can so I don't fuck it up


              One would assume getting the measurement for the new hole accurate would be slightly difficult.

                The one I posted is a HO throttle body with the panther linkage welded onto it. Scott swapped the arms for me.

                  The arms are basically backwards on account of the HO being flipped around, right? Otherwise they're the same, yeah?

                    also I'm waiting to hear from mr. Panther (scott) about sending me one with the LOPO linkage welded on to the HO throttle body. I put an ad in a classified today looking for the HO upper (intake/tb/egr spacer) but I doubt if I'll find anything. Likely just going to buy the small stuff from him and get the intake locally (it would be the worst to ship)

                      wow, that's funny, about two minutes after I posted this a customer came into the store. Just picked up a 5.0 Mustang for parts for HIS 5.0 Mustang..which is carb'd. He doesn't know if this parts one is EFI or not, he just bought it for interior parts. If it's EFI he obviously doesn't need the top end of the motor so he said he'd come back in and talk to me about it once he finds out what it's got for induction

                            No, he wasn't sure..I'd have known what it was if he gave me the year..86+ is EFI, eh? I'll ask next time he is in (he's here multiple times a day)

                                pantera77- I may have to try that when I get around to mine. I already have a spare LOPO TB and spacer to work with.
