20b into fd question
i noticed a lot of you guys who do the 20b-fd conversion use the fd throttle body ,why not use the 20b`s own TB ???,is it because of the throttle cable or is it because of the intake elbow (points slightly upwards ,starts to touch the hood) ??
also where do you guys get a vac port big enough for the brake booster i cant seem to find one on neighter upper nor lower manifold (makes me wonder where it got its vac source for the brake booster in the cosmo ???)
just some stuff i am running into on my conversion ......little things ..........bot nonetheless ANOYING!!!!

I believe some people bore and tap one of the 4 vacuum lines on the back of the UIM. Thats what it looks like to me on one of Derrick's engine bay pics(3rotorrx7.com).

Stock cable fits fine on 20b tbody. I just made a gradual loop in it. You need to be carefull not to loop to tight you will cause drag on the cable and cause the throttle to stick.
