I just received my BBK throttle body. Did anyone else notice that it does not seal 100%? I can see a little light around the edge of the throttle plate. Only a little.

I'm new to Mustang throttle bodies, is this normal? I'm used to Mazdas where the throttle bodies seal so tightly that you can pour water in them and it won't leak out.

Is this normal with With mustangs/BBK or is there an adjustment I can do?

Relax, it's fine, don't mess with the little screw, it's already calibrated.

Cool, thanks.

I also got a new plenum. Is it ok to bolt the two together prior to install or should I install them seperately.

I really don't have a reason to bolt them together prior, just wondering.

Yeah, I'm thinking I did one, then the other for some reason, maybe the convenience, I don't really remember.
BTW, supergoat, there wouldn't happen to be a GTO in your past?
