I don't need trans linkages, just throttle... what did you do to get the TBI hooked to the cable nicely?

thanks

This car has a Buick TB. I used some aftermarket 4 bbl carb throttle linkage whose base bolts to the carb base bolts. GM TB's are not all the same. They do not all turn the same way to open. You will have to figure yours out from what you have there in front of you. Sorry I cannot remember the brand. You will have to study photos on web sites, and maybe the Summit and Jegs catalogs.

Oh ok, this is the tbi from a 350 chevy... it's the "standard" one for a bunch of 80's and early 90's cars, pickups, vans, etc.

I have two Buick TB's and one turns clockwise to open, and the other CCW. One is from an NA engine, and the other from a turbo engine. Here is a link to the JEG's catalog page for throttle cables and brackets and such.
