Hey everyone. I need some help. I just got a 1990 caprice classic brogham. it has emmissions controls. I had to replace the thermostat and to make a long story short i cracked the intake manifold.

Im trying to track one down but i keep etting asked if its a 2 or 4 barrel. I havent had a chance to take of the throttle body yet to find out. I was wondering if any of you would know of the top of your head witch it is. Id appriciate any help

Is it the original motor? I'm almost positive it's not carburated but throttle body injected.

Not a problem at all.

I'm don't really know if throttle bodies have barrles like a carburator does cause I honestly don't know much about carbs. But I beleive it's the number holes the throttle body has. Like my older s-10 is throttle body injected and it had 2 injectors, 2 butterflies, and two large holes so I guess you could call that a 2 barrel. I beleive yours is the same but I'll search around tomorrow and see what I can find. Stay tuned!!!
