Installing a 70mm TB, is this a straight forward job, just connect the throttle linkage and the transmission linkage "AOD". What about the throttle body posistion sensor? Do i just bolt it back down with the 2 screws, or is there a certain way??? Anything else i left out???? Thanks

You'll have to setup the TPS and, maybe, the screw for the throttle linkage(check with the TB manufacturer for the spec). You'll, also, need to make sure the throttle blade is completely open, when the throttle pedal is pressed to the floor. I think that's it.

Does the new T Body have the provision for the hard line that runs from the T body to the oil fill tube? If so, hook it back up, and if not at least put a breather on the valve cover fill tube for now otherwise you will have vacuum [via the PCV valve] buildup in the crankcase and it will start sucking through a seal and create a loud squeal..
