Default looking for a few parts...

I am ending up doing a bit of part replacing on the 22-year-old parts that are all wearing out. Are there any brands that are worth the extra money? (I've looked at the kick-fix site (THANKS!!) for answers to most of my questions).

Example:

water pump: AC delco 'cast iron impeller' better than Gates?

I'm also looking for the gasket/seal that goes between the throttle body and the intake runner (sits around the fuel injector). picture is attached. Can't seem to find it anywhere...

Car details in sig.

I purchased a throttle body rebuild kit from Rockauto that included everything I needed for my '92 Tracker 8v.

I'm guessing I'm suppose to use the one pictured below? seemed much thinner than the round one currently installed...

I thought I mentioned I have an auto transmission...

The old gasket is still on the top of the throttle body. since it's probably 20+ years old and brittle, i'd like to replace it.

the throttle body rebuild kit (annotated picture from your site included) does not show it or include the gasket/seal I originally asked about. (I have the kit in hand).

I guess you could have noticed that the gasket I'm looking for is mentioned nowhere in your annotated parts list for the gasket set (shown below).

Maybe my eyes are going bad and I just can't see it?

NEW or rebuilt?, (2 vastly different answers)

water pump. (as you know there are many parts in the slot)
china (made by Som Ting Wong (junk) any thing with china bearing is junk.
(bearings with same name.)
Japan made (prime)
beck
acdelco
gates all these are good. cept , WONG
look on rockauto.com see the cheap $17 one , avoid it like the plague.
