I got the HO throttle body off of E-Bay, and I saw what Fordowner was talking about with the throttle cable pulling form the wrong side, which looks similar to what Malcolm was describing with his Explorer/Mustang setup.

Apparently, the HO TB I got was for a T5 Mustang, so I needed to add the TV cable hookup to the throttle arm.

What I came up with instead, was to grind down the end of the throttle shaft by the throttle arm, so the arm could be removed from both the stock Marquis TB and the Mustang TB, and swapped them. This is going to allow me to keep a driver's side TB, and may have worked for Malcolm, if the 94+ style throttle shaft is the same as the 86/90 shafts.

Fordowner - Did you happen to find out a PN for that intake gasket? If not, where did you buy it?
