Hmmm can you pickup one of these from the parts store, or is this part of an intake box? I've only familiar with the vacuum assisted ones (from a TR7). I was born after carbureterred motors, so most of my experience comes from new engines without heat induction intakes.

Could you post some pictures of yours? I might have time to wander through the salvage yard and find something this coming weekend. I'm looking at using the door lock mechcanism for ~$8 bucks. So its pretty cheap. and I have a throttle body laying around I could use if I remove the spring. I haven't really laid out proper plans yet, so I might take you up on your idea provided I find it more cost effective/simpler to build!

Does your warm air inlet come from your K1500 pickup?
