This thing tore on me tonight after I had to remove the TB to get my spark plug and coil out. Can I ultra copper this connection? Have a tube of the stuff in garage and feel like that's easier than attempting to source a gasket in this strange world. If not I'll have to track one down.

Reluctant to suggest silicone for that kinda deal.
Fast Ed could likely mail order one to you.

Figured as much. Guess I’ll wait on driving her for yet another weekend. Funny how something always goes wrong on a simple maintenance item.

Sadly yes.
Hopefully you can source one close.

Saved by my own parts hoarding. Forgot I had couple oem TB and Plenum combos on the shelf. Gasket acquired from there.

You can also pick up one of those packages of gaskets kits from Canadian tire. Has all styles in the package which are square sheets, and make your own,...probably get a few too many out of it for your money’s worth too. Did that when I did the Bullitt intake swap. Wasn’t overly priced either if I remember correctly. Been many years now since I did the swap.

Trying to get parts from C-T right now is an exercise in futility. Local store's curbside pickup is just a disaster area. Will keep this in mind tho when the world isn't straight fucked.

CTC can't even keep their web site up.
