1G throttle body vac hoses going the wrong way?

are these vacume lines pointing the wrong way? the throttle body has to be right because the isc sensor is in the right spot for the connector.

1990 throttle bodies are different in ways like that, IIRC

im doing a 90 motor into a 92 swap, and the seller said this was a 91-94 tb,but shoulodnt the hoses be going the other way?

It really doesn't matter which way they point as long as it all bolts up right, gaskets match and the TB outlet hole matches to the IM.

If you thought they should be pointing the other direction, why didn't you confront him and ask?

Erm my bad, it actually looks more like a 2G throttle body, with the ports pointing towards the driver side.

I agree. 2g Throttle body.

ohh ok makes sence. you think it wil be alright witht his 91-94 intake manifold. anyone else using a 2g tb on their 1gb?

It can work, but the 1g Throttle body is bigger and flows better. 1g owners go for the 2g TBE and the 2G owners go for the 1g Throttle body.

You can see above the size difference in the two TBs. The same inlet diameter would be on the IM as well. The 2g mating up the the 1g manifold will create a big lip affecting airflow. You could either try and bell mouth the TB outlet or just get the 60mm 1g TB.

I ran a 2G TB with my 1G IM (6 bolt swap) for a quite awhile. It will work fine but a 1G TB is the way to go. When I replaced it with a 1G TB I noticed a slight "seat of the pants" improvement in performance. IMO, the car seemed to run smoother with a slight bump in power.

You may need to bend the vacuum nipples so that they angle up slightly in order to get the vacuum hoses on there (clear the IM).
