Ok, I just went through the headache of trying to make my 62mm BBK throttle body work on my mach. After fiddling around with emery cloth on the throttle blade edges, and centering the blades and drilling an air bleed hole in the throttle body I could not get rid of the binding in the pedal. Its interesting when there's no vacuum in the manifold with the engine of the throttle is fine, start the motor up and its like it sucks the throttle blades shut. This absolutely ticked me off!!!! It was so bad that I couldnt even drive the car with it on. So for now the stock t-body is back on and now im in the market for a replacement. I was thinking about an AccuFab unit, after this fiasco with the bbk, the extra money for the AccuFab looks like its worth it. Feel free to make recommendations as I need feedback to make a better decision. Please only recommend a t-body if YOU OWN AND USE IT!!!! I want real world info please! Thanks
