Got a new TPS from O'reillys today and the prongs don't line up with those on the TB, is this the nonturbo one or something? If you look up the part number (EC3147) on their website it says 87-93 Toyota Supra V6...lol.
well here is a pic to help explain

is there a way to adjust this deal so it lines up correctly.

that looks right to me?
your suppose to screw around with it, it's suppose to move back and forward like spring driven or something. but yes that is the right one.

look at where the prongs are pointed on the throttle body, now look at the ones on the TPS. They are pointed opposite directions, and they should be pointed in the same direction, when I install the sensor and set it to the proper setting it is nowhere near lined up with the screw holes...

edit: oh and if i do put it in and turn it until it lines up with the screw holes it is nearly at the end of it's adjustment range and the resistances are way off.
