why not check one of the million mail order sites? summit dosent have one in the catalog, they have edelbrock manifolds and bbk or summit brand throttlebodys


but im looking at the catalog and not the website so it might just have been left out

Chances are you already have a 52mm or 58mm throttle body on the car.

its a measuring devise usually used to find the inside diameter, outside diameter or thickness of something. If you want to be all hillbilly about it measuring tape will work but won't be accurate at all

IIRC the way to measure your tb is to take it off and measure the opening at the back of the tb. Measure both openings.

theres also ones like this that have longer tips to measure I.D. (inside diameter), and yes you have to take off the TB to measure it properly, from the back side

yea, don't know how that was overlooked ....

Forgot to mention that I wouldn't put a bigger throttle body on till you need it. Hell, I'm still running the stock one on my LT1

Does it look like this? Edelbrock makes a twin 52mm throttle body for LT1 engines so it might work on the TPI as well. Edelbrock part # 3809.

some stuff like a TB you cant get a caliper into it to measure - if you know what a snap gage is and a micrometer that would be the way i would do it and the 2 barrel one pictured you just add together to get the size > now take a picture of what you think is an aftermarket part and the guys will just by seeing it will tell you what it could be - jz
