1990 7 up edition vert: Putting stock TB and air intake back on, among other things....

[91GTstroked]

I bought this 90 7 up edition vert with these already on the car less than two years ago. The Carfax shows the mileage to be correct at 36,xxx original miles, but it's in pretty rough shape.

Some would question why? But I hate the looks of the bbk intake and I couldn't get the rubber air intake to fit over the bbk throttle body. Plus this car is basically stock other than exhaust. Which I need to address at some point, it sounds like a farm truck.

So I purchased a stock style TB and EGR spacer off eBay. Not a fan of the bright silver paint on the EGR spacer, but it will work for now. I only have it mocked up for now, waiting on some gaskets.

The car idled and drove fine prior, hopefully I didn't create a headache....

I also replaced the front sway bar bushings and end links.

More to come!

Good move. I'd probably do the same on a 7-up car

It looks better with the stock airbox and intake tubing for sure.

Finally finished it up. I set the TPS sensor to 1.00 and fired it up. Idles perfect.
