Just seen your post! Since the TPS was controlled by the CCC ( computer command control system) and these were NOT in place in GM's line up until 1981, WITH THE ACCEPTION of 1980 TURBO equipped engines, to use to retard spark and timing to prevent detonation under turbo power. And 78/79 seen this TOO however these control units were small boxes mounted to the fan shroud, VERY primitive. SO, your car if i'm not mistaking does NOT have a TPS.

I realize your car is only a two barrel carb, but this is a wonderful and very informative video and will show you the location IF you did have one on yours, but like I had stated, it shouldn't being a 1980.
