Matt,

Do you need the shafts or new bushings in the bodies? Maybe you didn't
know, but you can maybe tell if you need only new throttle shafts:
you take the springs off, open the butterfly throttle and see if there is
also play in the open position. If not then you save quite a few bucks by
just ordering the shafts.
I bought them always from Joe Curto. He also has the closed throttle
plates - the ones without the springy valves. The valves can restrict
air-flow and lower the engine output.

Cheers,

Gus
