Maybe yall can advise a bit more. I can find plenty with the flat bands but the one i need has the internal ring that holds flanged pipe together. I'm having some trouble finding it. Maybe theres a different name for it?

I just spend a good 20 min searching for you... in the shop manual it just says "5A231 pipe yoke clamp" But most of the clamps that have that number are IC boot clamps... Nice Job Ford

Ah yes... the illusive hotfoot mod! LOL, It's just another way of saying I fixed the crappy response of the TPS and IVS, and tweaked the TPS so at WOT it's actually WOT. Pretty much useless being in my sig..

See here sir for a full .pdf with instructions and pictures

So I'm finding the clamps and yeah they are expensive. What size is the DP/EBPV housing joint? Is it a 3" pipe right there?
