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 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?

rock dont have it and never seen one ever ask for one, its so simple.
if you have the old one take it to a auto store and ask for a match up.
not on a week end they be too busy,
some will make the attempt.
did you look in the Felpro ecat? oops they dont make it.... i always buy felpro first...
