Default Which TPI throttle body replacement?

Hey.

My throttlebody is worn out and tends to stick leaving high idle until I tap the pedal. It also requires extra effort to press resulting in bouncy drive. I don't have possibility to repair this one - don't know if it even can be done so

What would be recommended replacement throttle body to get?

Places in the USA rebuild them
This place will sell you a rebuilt TB outright with no core charge and they ship international

Only the linkage style changed over the years.
Early had stud mount like a carb / later has a pin that fits in a hole and the cable lays around a quadrant
LT1's have a different IAC and TPS
