I'm shopping for used parts and was wondering if someone could tell me whether BBK and Edelbrock throttle bodies are decent (any old models to avoid?), or conversely, if it's easier, brands to avoid with parts such as throttle bodies and mass air flow sensors.

BTW, I'm thinking 70mm TB and 76-80mm MAF to go along with a new heads and intake setup (still N/A) -- what do you think is the best match in terms of size?

As always, TIA for the feedback,

I've noticed no diference in quality between my SN95 FMS 65mm and my Fox BBK 70mm. Both were quality pieces, no sticking or other problems.

I had a BBK 65mm TB on my last car, and I didn't have any complaints.

75mm BBK. I can hear a slight whistle if the windows are closed and radio off but I kind of like it. Nice product great fit on my 94.

Well, lets put it this way. All the ricers around here swear by MAC.

BBK will be a fine product.

No need for a 75mm TB...you do not need that "big" of a size when you can't use the air N/A. Gas will be touchier...just a little more "goosy"...it can get old after a while, especially when your driving by a cop at a stoplight...been there, done that...

Thanks for the feedback, I've already found some info on making it quieter under load.

Cheers
