Leave it stock, no point when:I have a stock throttle body, will those studs fit or should I upgrade to the next size spacer n throttle body! From what I was told Stock is 58mm n should go to 65mm. My intention are to keep the car stock as possible. I live in Kaliforniski n they r strict on Emmisions.
Any idea where I can get a new stock Throttle body?Leave it stock, no point when:
You're in a Communist state so strict emissions.
Stock heads and intake will only move so much air, spend the money on a K&N or similar air filter in the stock air box and swipe in a rear gear like a 3.55 or 3.73.
I would slide a better header in but that's kinda splitting hairs when bone stock
Oh, and this is JMO and should not be used as mechanical advice.
DAMN!!!!! LIKE THE 54 Ford Customline.Yeah, they're a pain! The steel studs tend to corrode into the aluminum on the spacer and the manifold. My go to is PB Blaster but Kroil works great too. Spray the penetrant, tap on the studs with a ball peen hammer, several times. Soak and tap over and over. Bang on the EGR spacer with a dead blow hammer. Try to tap in a thin putty knife between the spacer and manifold to break the seal. Nothing fun about it. Patience is the key here! When you do get it off, clean it well and definitely replace the studs with a new set.
