TPS question, and others

Can someone provide me with a procedure in replacing the TPS sensor on a 351w? My problem: engine sputters whenever accelerating from idle speed, and sometimes dies. Is this my TPS? Plugs/wires are not an issue, as I just replaced them. Also, what kind of gasket is on the throttle body? Should I use RTV when installing the new gasket? Thanks.

on my 93 302, I had to pull the throttle body, remove the two screws from the tps and reinstall. do not use rtv, the gasket will make the seal. not sure if that tps is adjustable. The screw holes in the tps will be slotted if it is. You may want to pick up a haynes manual--it is an invaluable source.
