Ooh that would be nice!

It's just that I hear most of the hacks for TBI use GM throttle bodies. 
Since all the injectors are electrically the same I suppose it doesn't 
matter. I have no religion here.

I'll take a YF gasket with me! That would beat all.


I also realized, duh!, that I want a throttle body from a TINY engine -- 
like 1.8 - 2.0 liters.

engine	max RPM	total flow, CFM
195.6	4500	216
1.9L	6500	185	(1.9L=115ci)

ANd you don't spend much time at 4000, even, on that old motor! With 
3500 as "maximum" the rambler six pumps 168cfm. Tha ain't much! A Howell 
system (for example) would probably not work at all.
