Default 48MM Throttle Body

Ok, In working on my IAC valve this evening, my boy bumped into the work bench and sent the throttle body tumbling onto the garage floor, and it put a big crack in it. I need to get a new stock throttle body, I have no mods, so a 52mm or bigger is a waste on my L98. All the stores I know only sell such bodies as BBK 52mm, and GMPartsdirect.com does sell a stock 48mm for $285. Any other places around that may sell one?

Thanks in advance

Look on EBay or C4 parts for sale - you may pick one up for cheap. :cheers:

It may also have trashed linkage bushings. Try Team Chev or Jeff Kopp, CF member. He's a wholesale GM parts guy.

Used would be fine as long as it is functional, don't need TPS or IAC in it either, lemme know, I'll even pay red frieght since the weather is getting nice out here :)

I have one off of my 96 LT-4 but I don't think that it will fit the L-98 if I am mistaken it is yours for $70 plus shipping but I believe it fits 96 and 95 only. :p:

I have mine from my 94. It has no problems, and no air leaks at the throttle linkage. Send me some beer money and cover shipping.

I have been keeping a eye out for a rebuildable TB. I have noticed that the part numbers are not the same and I can't tell from the parts book why they are diffrent.

1985 PN: 17085049
1986 PN: 17086049
1987-88 PN: 17086051

I don't know why you couldn't use the 88' TB it should work. I posted this because someone on the forum may know and this would slimplify both of our searches. Thanks.
