After reading thru this entire thread a question comes to mind. Are you sure the problem is with your Granatelli throttle body? The first thing I would check would be to see what if any diagnostic codes the computer may have. It should help you pinpoint the area the problem is in. Do you have a handheld tuner?? Cannot tell from you signature. Many car parts places like Autozone will check for free. Just a thought.

The stock throttle body provides more than enough airflow for both stock and modified N/A 3v engines..You only need to upgrade to a larger TB if you're going to add a blower, ported heads, cams or nitrous..otherwise there's very little to be gained if anything..

Thanks, Doug.

That basically tells me not to bother getting a TB at all...
