My throttle body is a bit worn out. They are NLA so I was curious if anyone knows of another make / model that would work, and or if there are any repair / rebuild services available?

Thanks,

Len

I am also looking for a Throttle body and the manifold for a 1975 2.0 liter if you have any that are available.

Thank you

Post a WTB, I'm sure there are people here who have a TB and manifold lying around.

Bah, the pics were upside down the first time. I must've messed them up when I removed them and tried to reattach pics that were right side up.

Depends on what needs to get done and what kind of shape the TB is in. But anywhere from $275-$365 I believe. In my case it was $300. That included zinc plating of the throttle spring and associated parts. New throttle plate (butterfly). TB bore is machined (1mm larger). Re-bushed. Bead blasted body. Custom throttle stop installed. The throttle stop helps the plate from contacting the side of the TB bore. Stock, the plate rested against the bore and eventually causes wear and a sticking plate.

I am going back to FI, and with the TB off the car the throttle plate felt sticky when I actuated the throttle by hand. So I figured I'd have this work done. I'm trying my best to get everything checked, rebuilt or restored. Hopefully that will make the install go a little more smoothly and I'll have a better chance of the car firing up on the first try once the FI retrofit is complete.

Hi,
repair kits are available for Volvo, better quality than the original parts.

Maybe a less expensive alternative...

Please ask the manufacturer (link below the information provided for Volvo) for parts available for the 914: http://www.v1800.org/index.php/en/servicin...repair-kit.html

regards
Norbert

So' the body is bored out 1mm yet the stock throttle plate is still used, with a throttle stop to prevent it from getting stuck?

No, there is a new throttle plate. I mentioned that in the post above. Although I should've mentioned that in addition to the throttle plate being new, it is also 1mm larger to make up the 1mm that was milled out of the bore. I should've taken a picture down the throat but didn't. Kinda late now, TB is on the car.

My ears are burning, I looked at doing these for the 944 adding a new bushing to tighten up the intake butterfly. If there's enough interest I can look at these. As we already stock the new boards for the early and late 1.7 as well as the 2.0.

AND you supply the 1.8L plenum to TB gasket. Guess where I got mine...
