Why not?

The 12A just dropped it into the float bowl. Try plumbing the two oil lines
into a pair of pin holes ahead of the butterfly in the throttle body. in most
cases there my be vacuum bleeds right at edge of the butterfly that may be
used. I think it would work fine as long as the lines are not exposed to a hard
vacuum when the butterfly is closed. A very small amount of oil is involved.
