GM TPS to Ford throttle body

[Bruce Plecan]

Dunno abiut aussy stuff to much.
Try bolting the F*rd stuff all together and see if you just don't get .4v
idle, and 4.5ish WOT.
Some USA guys are running gmecms in their fords (oops that 4 letter word
again), and I thought they were using the Ford TPS.
