Answer
Hi Rich, If the auto parts stores don't have it eithor then get ahold of Hemmings Motor News magazine at the newsstand on library. In it people advertise new discontinued parts for sale. Otherwise www.junkyarddog.com might be able to get a complete used throttlebody with the part on it. Hope that helps. Bill
