bought gasket set today plz read need some info

toady i bought the fel pro gasket set for my 88 formula 350 tpi. the p/n is ms 93035-1
my questoin is since i havent taken my runners and plenum off before shouldnt there be a gasket in between the plenum and the intake? cause this kit i got doesnt have one i dont think it has 2 different tb gaskets, distributor gasket, 2 intake manifold side,8 injector seals,intake manifold plenum left and right side 2intake manifold tube short, intake manifold tubelong left and intake manifold tube long right. i thought maybe i am wrong but there should be a square type gasket for the plenum to sit on the intake help me here if i am misunderstood.. thanks!!
maybe this is the wrong set all together but let me know thanks!!

there is no gasket for the plenum to intake the only conection the plenum makes to the intake is through the runners.

You purchaced a TPI intake gasket set which comes with all necessary gaskets you would need if you were to change your intake. I personally was very **** about when I ported my plenum and put an AFPR and wound up changing all the gaskets and replacing all of the bolts with stainless. In my case I used all of them but if you are just taking your plenum off you need only a few.
