Um. What throttle body do I have?

[supraguy@aol]

This is my throttle body:

It uses a normal USDM linkage. However, the new gasket(as well as the old one I had) Fit like this:

One of the two "mickey ears" lines up almost correctly. Almost.
The other is off doing its own thing, entirely misaligned. Is there a year-type changeover, or US/Canadian changeover, or what?
Is this a gasket that I can simply go to the dealership for?

IIRC the GTE and GE throttle body gaskets are different.

Ah, so maybe i'm just stuck with the GE gasket?

OK- Someone bitchslap me, please.

Proper gasket was in the package as well.


However, someone should also kick me in the nuts for using the na gasket FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS LIKE A REEETARD.
