********************************************
In my experience, I have found that the 2.1 Throttle Body Assembly is too
large for the 1.9 Center Air Plenum, in particular to where the where the
tapered "curl" of the plenum is too small relative to the mating taper of
the Throttle Body Assy.  I tried this a couple of times without success.

However, I have installed a 1.9 Throttle Body Assy to a 2.1 Center Air
Plenum, a fairly easy task with some things to be careful about.  Please
see my website regarding upgrading an 83.5-85 Vanagon to a 2.1 engine (a
real one, not a modified 1.9 case upgrade), in particular about the
Throttle Body and Center Air Plenum:
