??? 90-degree Aluminum Elbow For Lt-1/l-98 Throttle Body

Why is it that NO ONE makes one of these for us GEN-1 &GEN 2 guys anymore?? Frankly, I'm sick of the blatent neglect! Not everyone wants to convert to a friggin LS-X throttle body, whenever switching to an EFI Single-plane intake!!! There are many perfectly good and working L-98/LT-1 throttle bodies around still. I wish that some one would wake up to this travesty, and corner this entire market . There, I've said my piece, and I STILL don't feel any better, but I'll live. So, does anyone know of a company or individual that still cater's to us "FORGOTTEN GEN 1 & 2" folks? I need an elbow for my ACCELL PRO-RAM, but since "Intakeelbows.com" No longer makes one for my application, I need another avenue. ACCELL use to offer one, but I can't locate a site which still offers it. I would still have to deal with the throttle cable bracket issue, but that is easily rectified. HELP ANYONE, and thanks for letting me VENT .

Are you looking for a replacement elbow like the rubber one but metal?

Yeah, there are several companies that make what you're looking for. Trickflow, granatelli, vortech, and atleast one more that I can't remember the name of right now... but I definitely saw it on ebay. Your rant seems a little silly now, doesn't it? hehe

Sorry Gentlemen, maybe I wasn't perfectly clear

I'm looking for an ELBOW, which allows me to mount my L-98/LT-1 style throttle body to the ACCELL PRO-RAM EFI INTAKE, Not the 90 degree rubber or aluminum elbow that is part of the 93-97 LT-1 INTAKE TRACT. I don't want to use the traditional CARB style 4-barrel T.B. with a 14x3" open air element, and I certainly don't want to convert to an elbow which only allows LS-X style T.B. or MUSTANG style T.B's. Like I mentioned, ACCELL use to offer one, and "Intake elbow.com" offered one as well, but they have since discontinued them. Hopefully this provides more clarification.

Thanks again. It is looking more like I will have to come up with my own design.

I take it you are looking for something like this...

http://www.860performance.com/catalo...19&product=524





This elbow uses the OEM style TB, accepts the OEM throttle cable bracket, and clears the stock cowl without cutting.

If you're talking about Ray, he is normally a VERY helpful person.
