Default '85 Thottle Body question

Quick question for all of you, does the 85 stock throttle body have one or two vacuum ports on the passanger side? The reason I ask it because I am going to get a new throttle body ported to 52mm, but don't have access to my car as the moment to look. I am going to have David Koldos do the work, I know a couple other members has had him do work, and they highly recommended him. Only thing is he needs to know this information.

Thanks in advance.

I just installed one from David and will be sending back my original 85 throttle body. 85 had only one vacuum port on the passanger side of the throttle body. It doesn't matter though because you can plug the extra hole with a vacuum cap and the later throttle body will work.

I don't recall any vaccuum ports on the sides of the TB. There is one underneath it, but that's it. Are you talking about the plenum?

The port goes to the valve cover breather.

It's not a vacuum port though. It's a fresh-air supply to the PCV system.
