Answer
Hi Rich, I would get a copy of Hemmings Motor News eithor at bigger libraries or book stores/newsstands. In it is a section for parts for sale. Otherwise try www.junkyarddog.com for used parts. A complete throttlebody might be available. The Caddy dealer can tell you the last part number that was assigned to it. Sounds like it isn't available at any parts store to order is it? Napa and the dealer can get most parts if available. Hope that helps. Bill
