Have you ever seen this...

Ok so I've just about finished putting back together the throttle body off my 91 Z28 5.7 350 TPI (im pretty new to this stuff) and I can't seem to find this one gasket anywhere, it goes between the TB and the plate that says Tuned Port Injection on the top of the TB

You could probably just use RTV.... I'd imagine using NOTHING would almost be ok, although I'm not suggesting you do that.

That gasket comes in many gasket sets. You can just look up Ac Delco part number 40709 which contains the gasket for the top plate and the water plate on the underside. If you can use a razor blade, you can also just buy a roll of gasket material, cut a piece out, trace with a pen or whatever and cut it out. The gasket set is the easier way though. Also, part number 2009 for Standard Motor products is another set with that gasket.
