Ed, thanks for the reply.
Will be looking for a 65mm TB.
In your other reply, you question the oil pressure
tap for temperature. Looks to me that if you tee off to the reduction
drive there will be enough flow to use a temp sensor there also; could be
wrong??though.

Just about any place there is a reasonable flow of fresh oil would
probably do for the temp sensor. I measure my oil temp after the oil
cooler as that is the place Mazda did and set the temp limit. I
personally like mine in the main oil flow channel. I just drilled a hole
at the bend of the elbow and tapped it for the sensor treads and has
been working for 275 hours. But more than one way to get the job
done.
Regarding the TB, Ebay is a great place to find
TBs where people have switched to something bigger. I purchased both of
my TB form e bay for around $25 - $30 including the 75mm one - the guy went to
a 90 mm TB - could probably put hour head in it {:>)_
