GM TPS to Ford throttle body

[Daniel Collins]

Only real way is to test the sensor with a scanner or check the original
open and closed resistances when it was on the Holden throttle against it
fitted to the ford throttle body. I would doubt that the original design
would not run the tps from on max position to another for durability reasons
What are you putting the larger throttle body onto - you may get away with
using the ford tps ?
