Hey guys, I'm finished with my LT1 swap into my s-10 but I've hit a major hurdle when it comes to the throttle body. My situation is this. I swapped an LT1 out of a 93 corvette into my s-10 but the corvette has the throttle cable, cruise cable, and kickdown cable all routed into a servo box (I think that's what my shop manual called it) and a single cable running from the box to the throttle body.

I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to for my existing cables from the s-10 to work. Can someone explain to me or maybe post a couple of pics of what an F-Body throttle body looks like. I think I remember seeing all the cables tied directly to the throttle body but I'm not sure. If they do, I'll just hit up a wrecking yard or maybe purchase a 52 or 58mm tb

Thanks!

 

I found a few pics of a T.B. I don't know if this is what your looking for but it is all I could find

i have a 93 and each cable seperately connects to the TB

 

thanks for both of the replies!

I can see I'll need a different TB but i only saw 2 cables connected to it. From reading that guy's page, he has the throttle cable and cruise cable connected to the TB. Where is the kickdown cable located?

speedracer93z28 - do you have 2 lines connected to the TB or 3? if the answer is 2, do you know where your kickdown cable for the transmission is tied to?

Thanks again!
Chris

 

I'm not sure about 'Vettes, but only the 93 F-bodies had the tranny cable on the throttle body since they used the 4L60 instead of the 4L60e. 4L60e being electronically controlled.

P.S. Just get a T-56 and be done with it.

 

there are 3 cables connected to a bracket that i think is bolted to the TB, i believe the kickdown cable is the lowest one on the bracket

 

excellent...i owe you!

now i just need to figure out which one i want to buy. time to use the ole search button and find out what the board has to say. Unless anyone has suggestions!

oh, and DonHood...a t-56 will be in the truck someday
