Question Plenum gasket location

Can someone tell me where the plenum gasket is on my '86 Bronco, 302 EFI. From what i've gathered from the forums it's somewhere around the throttle body & upper intake but am still uncertain. Don't see any referance to it in my Haynes manual at all.

Thanks for the help.

Plenum gasket location

The plenum gasket is the gasket between the upper intake (or plenum as some call it) and the intake (or lower intake as some call it). The upper intake (or plenum) is most of what you see as you look at the EFI system under the hood. There are six bolts that hold the upper intake onto the lower intake. The gasket is here. One of the middle bolts is kinda hidden from site. It can be viewed looking down a slit separating the front four upper intake runners from the back 4. You'll need a torx bit to take this out thru this slit.
