Throttle Body Broken. What are my options

[Dan19063]

So I was having the sticky throttle problem. I went to clean the throttle body and in the process of taking it off. The little plastic, lets call it a Nipple, broke. See attached photo for what I am talking about. I did manage to super glue the thing back on but I'm sure it will not hold for to long. With my luck I'm pretty sure you cant replace that one piece and I will probably have to get a new whole TB? I went to Pep Boys to see if they had a new TB but they said it would have to be ordered or I should go to Ford for it. Anyone know what the price for that would be from Ford? The sales guy said he thinks its a 55 opening and that they have aftermarket 65's but he didn't know if anything else would have to be changed if I went bigger. Like headers and mufflers. I do have a K&N cold air intake on the car. I wasn't to sure about the size of the openings and such that he was talking about. Is this an option? Or can someone explain this and would I have to change other things to go with a bigger TB? Does anyone have a used TB laying around that they might want to sell?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. This is my daily driver so I cant have to out of service for to long.

I'm pretty sure that is for the cruise control cable...won't affect throttle cable.

I would imagine someone on here has a TB laying around they might sell..It's holiday weekend so site volume is down and as laryyo340 said, that might be for cruise control only

I have two, I work near Pennsburg and if you want to come get it, I'll sell it.

Thank you for your offer, but Loud2004marquis PM'd me and is sending me one.

[Comin' in Hot]

Ok, but if he's sending it, you probably won't get it until Thursday because of the holiday

[Dan19063]

Would still like to know what the options might be for a bigger size and what else would need to be done if I did that. I still have to order a new gasket for it the one on there chipped off in spots and now when you push the throttle the engine revs and stays at a higher rev 1700 rpm for about 4 sec before returning to normal

Hope its all good till then its running. I just wont use my cruise control till it gets here ;)

Accufab made a twin 62 (I think) for the MM.

Bigger ones won't give you any more than your stock one. You also don't need a gasket. Clean it up and use some black RTV.
