What Nitrous kit is this?

I just won this on ebay as I plan to setup my own wet nitrous kit. However, looking at my friends nitrous kit on his 85 Vette, his throttle plate appears different. Is this a different style plate (older maybe) that I got or what? Did I just do something stupid lol?

Thanks.

I think that plate is for old style TPI.
Wont fit late model.
Bolt pattern is not off set for late model

Sorry, I have an 85 TPI set in my 66 truck. Its off an 85 Firebird. When did they change the bolt pattern of the TB?

No ideas? I cant find anything based off its old part number. My 85 TB bolt pattern appears to be slightly offset which this plate doesn't appear to be lol.

You need to watch the clearance between the feed lines and hood. I've heard on some plate systems the lines rub the hood.

Probably not in the 66 truck this TPI is in!

I have room to spare above the intake

. Fortunately the seller is a very reasonable person and he is going to refund me the money as it has been determined that this system will not work with a TPI (due to non-offset bolt pattern and no IAC passage in the plate). Still waiting on the actual refund but hopefully withing a day or two.

Thanks for your help
