Looking for a TPS for a 1985 grand national HOT AIR...I am not sure if they are the same from the 86-87 models...PM Me if you have one.
Thanks! Bill

greg kring: 84 TPS replacement

Subject: 84 TPS replacement
One of the list members here asked me about the part number for the
holley TPS I used to replace the bad factory original one on an old 84GN
I had. Since I spent the time to dig through the receipts I figured I
might as well post it here that way it will be in the archives for
anyone else who is interested. I bought it through Summit as a
replacement part for the Holley Projection System. The part number is
HLY-543-29. It's listed as a TPS KIT and cost me 27.39 at the time. It
works exactly as original and has been on the car four years now.
Personally I think it's better than original as the plug now faces
straight towards the front of the car rather than up towards the hood as
original. I don't know if the original tps is hard to find or expensive
like some of the parts specific to the 84 turbo cars (coil packs, turbo
up pipe, etc.), but if it is here's an alternative.

Gbody part's price is pretty good for an original, but I still prefer the Holley one because of how it places the connectory straight out towards the front of the car instead of up.

Greg thanks for the link. It's tough finding new parts for the 84-5's at least it gives us an option to put up on the website instead of spending almost $200 for a new original unit. If you have any others please send them.

if I recall correctly the throttle blades rotate differently so the TPS arms have to swing in opposite directions. I happen to have an 84 at the shop now, if I remember I will check it out tonight.

That is correct they swing the opposite way. Bill just e-mail me direct. I'm not on the board a whole lot any more. Bweavy@aol.com

well thanks to this board i just figured out the mystery tps sensor that i have had in my toolbox for years that swings in the opposite direction.


the board member brer rabbit must be from 84/85 because he swings in the opposite direction also.
