59mm or 60mm... Who's counting? :shigrin

I don't know about the whole coolant in the TB thing... I don't remember that when I was changing my intake, but mine is a '94. :headscratch:

Someone will be able to help you though.

alright than im gonna go with the 65mm aftermarket t/b.. thanks guys..

some more help on the coolant issue would help :headscratch:
The throttle body is 59-60mm. The older throttle bodies were even smaller. The 65mm is good for a stock or near stock engine.

As for the coolant lines, you can actually leave the ports open, it won't hurt. The lines can be capped off or removed all the way to the hard line and capped to clean up under the hood. A hose with a bolt in it sticking up from the intake is ugly.
