Throttle Body #'s
I have an irratic idle on cold starts on my 86 vert. by reading a lot of threads I think my problem is a loose shaft in t-body, also have sticky gas pedal on light acceleration. My question being I have a chance to get a nice 52mm t-body but it's off a 89, will it fit or can I tell by #'s.
Thanks, Rich

I believe it has the same linkage, but i could be wrong again. 
You can always get a rebuilt one (bored to 52 mm with with sealed bearings on shaft ends) from David Koldos or from ebay ( can't remember sellers name
)

I went ahead and bought the 52mm t-body off an 89 on e-bay, but still wondering if it will work on my 86...no mods, if anybody can help let me know or I guess I'll find out when I try to bolt it on?

I did a pretty thorough cleaning on it (as best you can do short of taking it off) I reset tps to .57, but I can defintely feel play in the the throttle shaft and my accelerator was sticking when first trying to take off, i was able to cure that by adding a spring to hold the shaft in place but I know that's mickey mouse that's why I'm on a quest for a new t-body guess I'll just have to spend the $325. on e-bay. thank you all for the thoughts and help. I just found this forum and know it's going to save me $$$ and heartache. Rich
