Congrats. I had had problems getting the air filter hose onto the TB. I had to heat it up with a hair dryer to loosing up the rubber and then slide it over the TB. Also, you might as well check the TPS and the hoses if you have alot of miles on it.

Not sure if the LT1 TB is like the L98 one with the IAC assembly underneath that has to be moved from the old to the new. I broke probably half the screws holding the IAC on; they were quite rusted. Fortunately, they were a standard metric size that I could grab from the local hardware store.

Also on the L98 one, I needed to recalibrate the TPS and adjust the idle set screw when I was done - that last was misadjusted enough to keep the engine from idling at all which initially led me to believe there was a major problem.

well those are things i would need to look out for. not sure about the IAC or adjusting the TPS. i found step by step instructions on a website and it does not mention adjusting anything. does anybody else know for sure? i guess ill have to take it real slow. thanx for the input.
