Hi All

Have seen this on an unrestored car…does anybody have anymore details…? I assume the 022 refers to the 1.7L but what about the other number?

Any insight would be appreciated…thanks

@StarBear .

further thought on what the H on TB means.

It means the H variant - but is also on the L variant.
H is listed as the 49 state variant - for MY 1974 - see parts catalogue listing.

see photo (attached) from thread about rebuilding 1.8 throttle bodies.
photo shows TB with H stamped has blocked port (undrilled) which if opened would take a vacuum hose to the retard side of distributor in some cars - eg our cars (or all californian cars).
looks exactly the same as the TB on my car, same PN, man. identification and H, apart from that port being not opened up.





You won't find the L variant, at least not with L stamped on it?
all they do for the L variant is drill out the idle retard port on the H variant parent casting, insert a coupling tube and then package it in a box with L variant identified on labelling?

To put it simply, wonki and starbear have L variant TBs for 74 (which parts manual says is californian 1.8 part) - its an H with the port drilled out?
i don't think you would go and make a separate casting just to have an L stamped on it.
you just use the parent part and do a further operation on it.
