Idle control screw

Can anyone tell me where I can find a replacement idle control screw and spring? I was looking at my throttle assembly yesterday and noticed it was missing. I have called all the local parts stores, and they referred me to a ford dealership in town. The dealership told me I would have to buy a whole new throttle body... It would be ridiculous to buy a whole new throttle body for a screw and spring. Is it possible to rig up something with a simple screw and spring, or do I actually have to buy a whole new throttle body?

1. Junk yard
2. If it has an idle kick-up, dashpot, or solepot solenoid mounted on it, that is the throttle stop.
3. Junk 2150 off ebay.

I am not familiar with the threads on this, but I have had good luck at your local true value. They have an abundance of bolts and springs.
