Question ENGINE TEMP SWITCH FOR COLD IDLE and TIMING ADVANCE SOURCE?

None of the local parts stores has a number for the temp switch for the cold idle and advance. The dealership calls it the "cold auto advance" but wants $80. Anyone know of another source or part #?
Thanks,
Mike

that looks like the extension on the number one injector line, definitely not a switch. still looking bro but if you call ford they should be able to give you a number. If i hadnt broken mine off the old engine id send it to you bit i did score a free IP with the high idle solenoid on the side of the ip with the plunger that holds the idle if you want it, just send me the shipping fee.

Hey Thanks Wreck,
Ford gave me an incomplete # and I must have checked every source online and locally except for Amazon.

I just purchased the switch (E8TZ9E39A) from
Green Sales Company

It is $35.00 plus shipping.
The guy I spoke with says he has 2 left.

The Amazon.com item is indeed the correct switch.
