CA throttle body question

i recently got a hold of a throttle body from what i can only assume to be off an N350 FC... (dashpot on it says N350) and i have the N370 TII...will the 350 be a direct replacement for the 370? reason Im wondering is because I'm sick of the modded throttle body my car came with and want to return it closer to stock...

also, i was wondering why every picture I see of a thermowax looks different than the N350 one I have. It only has one inlet for the coolant and does not seem to have any vaccum lines or one way check valves attached to it...is this normal? the FSM and Haynes manual both shows what seems to be the vaccum lines and check valves attaching to the thermowax with one hose going to what seems to be a dashpot and the other going to something near the BAC? hard to tell from the tiny pictures on the manuals...

thanks

nobody knows anything about throttle bodies?

how about part numbers for the coolant hoses going to and leaving the TB?

NA throttle bodies are mounted with the primary passage down & facing the passenger side of the car (opposite of TIIs). If you want to use an NA TB, you'll have to take it apart and flip things around. It's do-able, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

The double throttle setup is different on various TBs, but the thermowax will have a line in and out.
