Externally mountable IAC

[Gerald Pelnar]

I snarffed up a piece of 3/4" aluminum today to make a spacer to put under
the throttle body on my mopar TBI conversion. It'll be drilled and tapped
for a barbed hose fitting to let in idle air from a remote mounted IAC. I'm
using the IAC and mounting plate from a GM 2.8 PFI throttle body, mounted on
a piece of 3/4" alum.
