Picked up a $25 throttle body today
 
It came complete with MAF, TPS, IAC, MAF screen, and just for kicks they left the accordion tube on it with the IAT still plugged in. $26.75 after tax. Seemed like one heck of a deal to me.

By the way, they have more TBs for the same price... Anybody interested? If I can get my hands on one or two of 'em I could ship them out whoever wants one.

If you find one at that price for a 95-97 L36 with the 4T60-E, Will be 2 Vacume ports on the throttle body... For that price I'd be very interested, especially if it had all of the goodies on it...LOL ;)

That is an EXCELLENT price, usually they sell the TB alone at a wrecker for 40+.
Good find!

Nice find - would make for a great core charge or a custom porting project. Are they the '99+ style TB?

I'll see what I can do for ya, Junior. They had another one there, but it had a junk MAF sensor. Everything else was intact, though. The one I got is from a '96 Lesabre, so it has the vac ports, which is what I need as well.

I want one from a 96 but don't have the cash right now.
The sensors alone are worth it.

I know... I nearly flipped when he quoted the price. I'm very pleased with the deal I got. Sure you can't spare $25?

OLBlueEyesBonne 11-12-2005 09:46 PM

Not a bad deal -but still not as good as my 95 L67 TB with all attaching sensors and MAF screen for $10.

Just the TPS alone is worth $25 from a yard.

So what are the plans for the new TB? Sending it in to ZZP? Home porting?
If you're going to port it out yourself you better be good -TB's are a sensitive thing to be monkeying with -ain't no exhaust manifold. ;)
