throttle
A throttle is a mechanism by which fluid flow is managed by constriction or obstruction.
An engine's power can be increased or decreased by the restriction of inlet gases (by the use of a throttle), but usually decreased. The term throttle has come to refer, informally, to any mechanism by which the power or speed of an engine is regulated, such as a car's accelerator pedal. What is often termed a throttle (in an aviation context) is also called a thrust lever, particularly for jet engine powered aircraft. For a steam locomotive, the valve which controls the steam is known as the regulator.

It originally (1998) had a Holley 390 and ran great so that's what's going back on. I have a few questions that maybe some of you can...- JeepinMike

Engine Throttle body fuel injection question
Looking to improve the drivability of my '78 CJ5 with a stock 304. I plan installing a 2 barrel, Holly Sniper throttle body fuel injection. Is there any advantage to the 4 barrel, (besides the obvious added power) that would justify the added expense of a new manifold? Like I said, I want to...- Bert B.
