Am I missing a hose here? Its off of the solenoid of the Driver side Valve cover. If so where does it go?

Kinda looks like a stock 48mm TB from the pic. 48mm should be the size of each bore.

Not sure about the middle pic. Do you have traction control? The pic is so close, I am not sure what I am looking at.

The bottom pic might be an AIR pump bracket, though I am not sure it looks like the one I have. Or maybe it is a bracket from a Y or B body, if the engine is not original.

Yah the second pic is the traction control solenoid.
Im pretty sure my car used to be Powerdyned suprcharged so I think It may have been a bracket for that.

that TB is looking stock but im not for sure with that airfoil there in the middle its a little more difficult to get a true measurement of it, but it looks like the stock 48

The last pic is where the A.I.R. bracket was located. Mine looks the same way. Your exhaust manifolds/or headers should not have any smog pump provisions on them. I have stock exhaust manifolds so mine are just capped off. Hope this helps.:thumbsup:

the only real way to know, is to take the TB off, and measure the blades on the backside. that is definatly a stock TB, it very well could have been bored over. I thought most aftermarket ones have the air foil molded in?

On the Nosey! The butterflies will tell you. BBK tb's have molded airfoils, and the few Holley's I've seen have them, can't say about the others.

yes that bracket looks like the one for a powerdyne supercharger. I's say that's what it is. I know because i had a powerdyne SC on my car for a while.
