I'll give you a vacuum number after, before it was pulling about 2-1/2 inches WOT, at 6000 rpm. That was at the fitting in the blower inlet after the throttle, you can see it in the pictures. Let's see how close it gets to zero.

Rear of blower before:


Inlet housing removed from blower, sitting on flange of throttle body. The inside of the throttle is lined up with the inside opening of the housing on the left side.


The original mounting flange removed from the housing:


The blank that will become the new flange:



The mountng flange in its future position on the inlet housing:



I guess I am committed, now.

Good luck man, That is a beautiful throttle body. You could lose an arm in that thing.

As big as the new tb is I figured you would have to fab a whole new back side for the blower. Can't wait to see more.

I'll try to be careful.

The more I look at it, the more I think that I should have. At least this way I won't procrastinate the the point of having to sell the throttle at a loss.
