basically, all cars have one throttle body/carb
mine will have 4, one for each cylinder, meaning more air. so more fuel can be put in, thus = more power
a throttle body is like a webber, but its fuel injected, more economical etc.

Here is a the similar thing a mate and i did to his pinto.
Bike carbs instead of throttle boddies, butn similar sort of spacing problems had to be overcome.
