FD throttle body inlet tube
I need an idea as to what people out there have done to install an FD UIM/throttle body while keeping the power steering . The stock FD ABS tube is angled too much to be of any use. Since the stock FD tube has dimples at the bottom, it makes it even harder to somehow draw up a plan.
No one makes a compression tube like the FC for FD. If there was one, that would be perfect. HIGGI made one long ago. Looking at something like this.
Anyway, if anyone has a picture of how they did it, I'd appreciate posting a pic.
This is for people using power steering !

FCs using FD UIM
The reason I posted this in the 2nd gen forum is..... it's for a 2nd gen.
Maybe I didn't make it clear in the first post. The picture clearly shows an FC.
To clarify...
Those using FD UIM on 13B block....

if you look closely at the picture you see an adapter plate between throttle body and compression tube..
looks to me they made an adapter plate to use FC compression tube on FD throttle body

I know...some sort. It looks larger than an FC compression tube though. 
I PMd Higgi and he had someone make it for him.
Lucky to have someone working with metals.

Has anyone else made an adaptor like this so to use an FC compression tube on an FD throttle body? And, anyone that did, could you make another?
Thanks
