well then you might want to try and get one then or a different TB what year ls1 do you have?

yea you have a 00, if you had a tb ported you might have the wrong tb on there like from a 98-99 tb they are different and that is one of the things that happens when there is a 98-99 tb on a 00-02 car

i havent had it ported and the owner before me doesnt know of anything being changed. I ordered the two style cabels from pontiac that were used for the 4th gen and still doesnt fit...how can i tel if its been changed?

Throttle Body Information:
A 98-99 TB has a brown spring on it and a smaller throttle cam, GM Part# 17113390.

A 2000-2002 TB has a blue spring on it and it has the biggest throttle cam, GM Part# 17113647.

A Truck TB has a orange spring on it and a cam that is close to the 98-99 F-body ones but it's not an exact fit.

In short when looking for swapping throttle bodies from one car to another check the color of the spring.

My cable is too long after LS6 intake install. I have a 98 ported TB. Is the bracket also different?

**GNICTRY** · 11-26-2007, 05:40 AM

i have a ls6 intake too...but mine was to long to begin with...i was running 14-15s in 1/4 mile couldnt figure out why...damn cable...ill try to take pics of mine...no idea about bracket

Where on the throttle body is the part number? I'm not seeing it. Like a bone head I picked up a ported throttle body and didn't check which year it was for.
