TPS Sensor Seal

The car is a 93 Trans Am, switching throttle bodies and I'd like to get a new Throttle Position Sensor Seal. It's the red rubber O ring that seats between the TPS sensor and thottle body around the throttle shaft. The reason for needing a new one is the currrent one is bit deformed. I can't seem to find just the seal. In one of your recent articles about the D&D T56, I see in the picture of the motor and the two guys pretending to drive it you have that seal on the LS1 Throttle Body, so maybe you knew where I could find it. I'm switching to a TPIS 58mm Throttle Body with an N20 Dave's Plate kit. We are doing the EFI Connection 24X conversion as well as a T56/street twin in the car.

most throttle position sensors come with new connector seals...

so you might have to buy a new sensor seal...

i do have a delphi connector catalog...   if you still need one.. i can dig through the catalog ,.. see if i can find a part number...  but most places only sell them in boxes of 10 or 50...

I've bought two, one Delphi (Didn't work out of the box) and a Autozone brand and neither included that seal. When I was trying to find it, I found ones for other cars that included that seal.
