FiTech Adapter Plate 4150 Inline to Side Saddle (60040)
The FiTech Adapter Plate 4150 Inline to Side Saddle (60040) is an adapter plate designed to modify the orientation of a 4150 throttle body. This component facilitates the transition from an inline to a side-saddle configuration, offering a solution for engine installations where space constraints or specific layout requirements exist. By enabling this orientation change, the 60040 plate allows for increased flexibility in engine bay setup.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Orientation Modification: Alters the positioning of a 4150 throttle body from an inline to a side-saddle arrangement.
Space Optimization: Helps address clearance issues in engine compartments where traditional inline setups may not be feasible.
Installation Flexibility: Provides an alternative mounting option to enhance throttle body adaptability.
Type: 4150 Throttle Body Orientation Adapter Plate
Configuration Change: Inline to Side-Saddle
Compatibility: Designed for use with 4150 throttle bodies.
Material: Typically made from a durable metal alloy.
Preparation: Ensure the engine is cool and disconnected from the battery. Gather necessary tools and hardware.
Disassembly: Carefully remove the existing 4150 throttle body from its current inline position.
Plate Installation: Position the FiTech 60040 adapter plate onto the intake manifold, aligning the mounting holes.
Throttle Body Re-Installation: Mount the 4150 throttle body onto the adapter plate in the new side-saddle orientation.
Secure Fasteners: Tighten all mounting bolts and fasteners to the manufacturer’s specified torque.
Connections: Reconnect all necessary fuel lines, vacuum lines, and electrical connections.
Verification: Check for any leaks or loose connections, and ensure the throttle body operates smoothly.
