Good question! When I got my SS TBI from MPI (love those TLA's), Jules'
sent me a new gasket with the new throttle body, and specified USE THE
NEW ONE! I think that was because an entirely different TBI was being
put on, if you're putting the same one back on, I think the same gasket
would be fine, unless it had noticeable deterioration. It'd be worth a
call to you local Dodge dealer parts monkey to see how much one was (*IF*
you could be sure he was quoting you a price for the correct part) ;-)
 Good luck!

Ciao!
