TPI Throttle body gaskets

Hawks, Napa, and Orielly have different versions of gaskets for a 91 TPI throttle body. I'm removing, cleaning, and re-installing the throttle body(IAC as well) on my TPI and am curious as to how many gaskets I would need to replace. A pic of the Hawks kit is below and this is different than the Napa kit that includes the main throttle body gasket and the runners. One of those is obvious, the other aren't. Yes, I could take it apart first and find out, but it'd be nice to have the replacement gaskets on hand. TIA.

Re: TPI Throttle body gaskets

The gaskets you have pictured are the ones you need if you take your Tbody off and apart.
the kit for with the runner gaskets are if you remove the(suprise) plenum,runners and intake.
It takes maybe 10mins to remove your Tbody. Heck you could pop the hood and see where these gaskets go.

Re: TPI Throttle body gaskets

The one to the left of the main TB gasket is the gasket for the top plate that screws to the top of your TB. Not sure what the other one is for though.

Re: TPI Throttle body gaskets

the other two are for the casing below the tb and the sensor that screws into the side of it.
