jinstall-Thanks. Note there are fluries of activity followed by months of thinking.
No cams needed at this point. The same problem I have would exist with a cam.
I cut the second stiffening rail from the left over parts of the secondary throttle plates. It had a flange and drilled hole that had the right spacing. I drilled and tapped the throttle bodies 10 x 32 TPI and attached the rail with stainless socket head button head screws. I shaped the part with a flap wheel in the 4.5 inch grinder.
You can see that little bulge that is going to eventually help hold the hose at the top of the bores. This side of the part will be downward in the engine bay. Also note the TPS throttle position sensor which will need to clear a pump on the passenger end of the engine.
