went out today to replace my tps so i pulled the old throttle body off and began comparing the 2 different pieces i have and mine has a huge spring on it and the one i got does not have the spring and no extra arm to attached a spring to it. why is that? what are the differences and what are the advantages and disadvantages.
i do know that my current accelerator peddle is quite sticky and hard to push. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i113.photobucket.com-11576-1277830155.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i113.photobucket.com-11576-1277830157.2.jpg) |

The top one is from a 75/76. The bottom one is from a 73 (it has both vacuum ports.) Use the 73. You can hook up the vacuum advance on the diz (if yours has one), and its much easier to push without that extra spring. I think they added the spring to make sure the throttle closed quickly. An emissions thing I think.
