TBI rebuild Gasket

Hi guys,
im rebuilding a TBI from a 1992 5.0 RS and had a question about the main gasket.
The kit comes with 2 gaskets
One is a closed one and the other has a gap between the butterflies
My stock gasket is the closed one, but most of it was worn away?

​​​​​So, what gasket is correct?

​​​

Re: TBI rebuild Gasket

The gasket you use depends upon the throttle body casting you have. I learned about some of the differences when I removed the throttle body from my '88 K1500 in favor of a newer throttle body I got from a salvage yard.
