Default Throttle body question

I have an OBD-0 B17A in my 89 civic. Previously i was using an OBD-0 intake manifold. The old IM had the FITV attatched to it.
I switched to an ITR intake manifold and got a throttle body that has the FITV attatched to it.
The problem is that the new gasket I bought was wrong and fit the old TB, so now I have a huge air leak.
I need to find the proper TB gasket. The difference in TB's is that the new TBneeds a longer gasket. I believe that the new TB came off an accord.
Can anybody steer me in the right direction as to what model/honda I should order a gasket for?

Well, I don't really know what to tell you if it's an accord tb or not b.c it's not in front of me. Try by getting an ITR TB gasket which is a 62mm gasket and is bigger then an accord one or you can just buy a roll of gasket paper and cut one out to your corresponding size.

Good Day,
RH.

ITR TB gasket won't work, it's not long enough, cuz the IT TB doesn't have an attatched FITV. I'll keep trying to find out. Thanx
