Instead of removing my original throttle body to rob the parts from to install the IAC, I decided to buy a used one from dead jeep. I have a feeling the screws that hold on the IAC will be stuck on the original throttle body, because the TPS screws are. Breaks the tool every time I try to remove them. Tiny allen head screws and I assume the aluminum and steel have welded themselves together. Them being fine thread I don't see why locktite would be used. I may apply some anti-seize when I install this stuff on the BBK unit.
With a spare throttle body, I can then swap over what needs to swapped on to the BBK 62mm throttle body without any down time, and then that upgrade will go quicker and be more plug and play.
All of this stuff happening, and I just got the registration renewal in the mail on Friday, and this year requires emissions testing for the registration renewal. This vehicle typically passes with flying colors, but I don't want to jinx it. Last time I bragged about my 81 passing with ease it failed miserably.
