[Diy_efi] Newby questions: throttle body selection

[Bruce McKenzie]

I'm looking to inject my 1970 Saab 96, which runs a Ford (Taunus) V-4 
(1.7L). I'm planning on using Megasquirt and making this a testbed so that 
I can learn about conversions. My "main" project is injecting my 1973 
Citroen SM (odd-fire 3.0 V6). That will probably not be Megasquirt.

But I'm stuck-ish on "mechanical" issues:

I have a manifold that mounts a single one-bbl FoMoCo (Ford) carb. I think 
it's a 28mm or 32mm barrel.
I think I know what to do in selecting the injectors, but I'm kind of 
puzzled about throttle body selection.
How do I guess what TB size?
Is it reasonable to pull the venturi out and plug up the holes and then use 
the carb?

Can anyone suggest a reasonable place (on the web?) where I can find 
new/used TBs? I'm in California (SF Bay Area) FWIW.

Thanks much for your time.

Bruce
