Throttle body by-pass
I have a 91 my TB has like four or five hoses coming out of it. Which is the correct one on the left side? The lowest one is the biggest; it is the only one on that side with a clamp on it. My connector piece is the same size on both sides. Is that correct? Do I just connect the two lower hoses from each side?

the 2 hoses that go into the housing under the TB.
One on left side(from front ) and hose that connects to manifold .
Believe you need an adapter piece that has 2 different sizes to suit the the hoses you are reconnecting unless you can fab something up.

The connections on both sides are the same size on the L98 engines, the throttle body by-pass kits are for the LT1 engines that use two different size hoses.

by-pass
Hi,
I do have a bypass kit that is all the same size. It's just a small piece,( brass with ribs for hoses) that is 2 or three inches long, with 2 hose clamps.
Ihave a LT1 92, I never put it on because it seem like it was wrong. Thanks to you my asumption was right. Paided 13 bucks for this. Still new from superformance I think. Would consider a trade if you think the one you have is right for the LT1. Would pay the diffference to you.
Thanks,lbreen...breenl@sbcglobal.net

A Great guy
Hi,
Just wanted to say, that Bubba91, sent me his bypass, not wanting any kind of payment, after several times asking him what I could send him.
A great guy like this is the kind of people we have in our forum.
Thanks again Bubba91. lbreen
