Do you mean the GPR, which is the brown cylinder with 4 electrical contact points on it?

I would really like to offer you a hand, but similar to aawlberninf350 I am having a hard time seeing the problem you are trying to describe.

EDIT: Does your engine bay look like this? Also, have you thought about asking for assistance in the other 7.3 forum?

1994.5-1997 7.3 forum

 

let me know if you know anybody that needs parts - I'm converting a '94.5 to a Superduty.
