ID these gaskets for me please
Hi,
I have vacuum leaks from the following places. I'm looking to either seal or buy gaskets for all these locations, thing is I'm not sure what parts to source or which ones I can use permtex on. Any help on block off plate names or which ones need actual gaskets would be usefull.
Thanks,

You use Permatex super black or whatever its called for the blockoff plates. The elbow has a thin rubber o-ring that you need. Dont use permatex on that. Some guy sells them here really cheap but I forgot his username. I bought like 10 from him one time. The first one I don't remember exactly.

The gasket between the throttle body and the intake manifold stock is metal, I think some eariler ones may have been paper. I'd get a new one of those from Mazda.
The throttle body O-ring that goes between the TB and the TB elbow is available from Mazda. Someone found a part from McMaster-Carr that works, but you probably have to buy in bulk and I don't know what's cheaper, one from Mazda or many from McMaster-Carr.
A good sealant on the blockoff plates is good. The lower intake manifold is an FC intake manifold and that's the air control valve blockoff plate. You might want a new Mazda gasket for that with some RTV, that's a large area to seal up.
