Hey gang,
Have not taken it off yet, but it appears that my 95 will take both (?) or either or .....of course the "0-ring" style fits into groove of intake so it would seem that using both "might" be an option....
Both these types come up "as for" my 95 4.0 ohv
This is similar to my IAC situation.....rubber o-ring was present stock but replacement IAC units came with paper gaskets...
Any input on this? I'm guessing sticking with the o-ring alone is sufficient but also pondering was the paper / cardboard created as an updated "fix" for "subpar" 0-ring setup ??

Well got around to taking off throttle body today and it does take BOTH.
