Well I found the vacuum leak on tbi . The "right" gasket just did not cover it well enough . I got a roll of gasket maker .And I cut out the gasket a tiny bit bigger.And I only cut the holes that the trottle body needed. the gaskets from the store have a bunch of extra cut outs . hope this helps someone |

do you still have your watercolors from when you were a kid ice? if so you can paint the bottom of your TB-place it on the gasket material-viola instant gasket pattern- |

there are several different types of gasket mat. Just like preformed gaskets, as well as 'gasket goop', some react to fuel/oil others do not. Some handle heat better and some do not. Be sure to use the correct type. |

Do you happen to still have the gasket with too many holes? Would be interesting to see what created the vacuum leak. Could you post a picture of it? |
