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:
