Default TPS bolt broken, need a new throttle body (to match new injectors)

I have a 90 Renix. Noticed a rough idle. Cleaned the IAC, moved to adjusting TPS. Went to loosen bolts, saw *gasp* this top bolt is already pretty loose... Oh its broken.

Can't get the screw out. Easiest, most cost effective thing for me to do is swap out the TB. That's where you guys come in!

Should I just find a stock Renix TB to put in here, or is there something else I could use that would match to the #19 mustang injectors? I read a few articles but they all required a machine shop (99 TB, vortec TB, etc). Any thoughts?

The last owner really did a number in this thing. The idle adjustment screw has been broken off, too. I suspect he had a problem and went about fixing it his own, special way.

A stock one would work just fine.

If I ran larger injectors I'd be looking for s larger throttle body?

Don't run larger injectors. Use Volvo 746 injectors.

If you want a bigger throttle body, contact www.strokedjeep.com.

Found a TB, appears to be missing a connector for the transmission sensor bit that goes in to the tps. There's only a spot for that rectangular plug. It's driving and shifting so... What's up? Didn't catch what kind kg Cherokee this came off of, waiting to hear back on that now
