Machining the Holley 2bbl throttle body can be avoided by getting a housing
from BDS, Kinsler, or ??
that accepts a 4 pin square connector GM IAC (20mm x1.5 thread) on one end
and a 1/4 or 3/8 NPT on the end that connects to the manifold plenum. Very
easy to drill/tap NPT - not so easy to machine TB to work with the IAC.
The $ to buy the Kinsler parts wouldnt pay for much machine shop time at
flat rate unless you have your own milling machine. Kinsler P/N 10662
Housing and 10663 Filter.
