I came up with a couple questions.
1. I disassembled my throttle body in order to better ensure that the intake is ported to match it. The throttle shaft rides inside two small sealed bearings. Just how good of a seal do these have? Would I be safe cleaning up the throttle body in a solvent tank? Or should I just stick to a soft brush and compressed air?
2. I think I have the intake done as well as I can, except for one spot. Just inside the elbow, there's a 5/8" hole where the EGR was mounted on the '86 GLHS and CA destined '87 cars. Despite being blocked off from below, I'm wondering if this hole causes any sort of disruption in the airflow. It would be quite easy to tap it for an aluminum plug which would then be ground down and sanded smooth. But, is it actually worth the effort, or am I thinking way too hard on this?
