Thanks for your research and for the information Alec300SD. You mentioned a possible need for heat shielding, that may be the reason for the high price. Thanks for finding it with the $20 discount though, that would definitely help.
I did find the old gasket intact (see picture), and I'm used to replacing all gaskets as I go since I'm fixing the car up mechanically. I'm also used to gaskets being relatively low price. I wonder if I could keep using the old one this time. Could I check that the old one is functioning properly by spraying ether around the throttle body and watching for a response? And by checking how hot the throttle body gets during use?
