Default throttle body plate
Went to paint the cover on top of the throttle body today, when taking it off there's a rubber gasket under it, I don't remember one on my 95 C4, but my 96 has one. Its is very soft as if the rubber were contaminated by something. Like when tranny fluid hit rubber seals, I'm sure a Chevy dealer must sell this gasket??

Thanks for any info..

If not commonly available from places that sell TPI parts but is usually part of the TB rebuild kit like this

You sure? He is talking about the one on the top.

I checked out the kits and none of them have any thing that looks like whats on mine, it a rubber seal thats flat and covers the whole top of the throttle boby under the pastic cover, that you can change with a chrome one.

I used a thin film of RTV when I changed mine. Worked fine.

There are only two gaskets in the TB and the one you wanted for the top plate was shown in top of each picture in the link.
