Have you ever seen this...

I'm trying to put my TB back together on my 91 Z28 (5.7 350 TPI) and I'm looking for the gasket that goes between the TB and the little plate on top that says Tuned Port Injection:

Does anyone know where I might find such a part? Or if i even need this gasket?

Thats a tricky one, I always just reused that gasket since it stayed attached to the plate pritty well. Ill be following along to see where everyone says to get it.

Re: Have you ever seen this...

you will probably need to get some gasket material and cut one out. i don't believe it's included in the upper intake or upper plenum gasket sets from felpro or mr gasket.

Its defiantly not included in the upper intake set. You may want to try the dealer. You would be surprised to see how many things they still sell for these cars. I suggest you go there in person, since they deal with a lot of ppl all day long that think they know everything. They will most likely tolerate you describing this item better in person.

Not the best idea, but liquid gasket?
