Got the answer for anyone who might need the info:

Harness connector disconnected, ignition on:
Terminals - 3 and ground in harness connector = 5 VDC

Harness connector disconnected, ignition off:
Terminals - 1 and 3 at sensor terminals = 4k ohms

Throttle plate rotated from idle to full throttle position:
Terminals - 1 and 2 at sensor terminals = Variable from1-4k ohms without interruption

It ended up being a little off, and since it couldnt be adjusted I drilled out the mounting holes a little bit so it could be cocked left to right. Im suppose to get 1k to 4k, It was 1.5 ish to 3.72. I got it down to 1.05 to 3.72
