Shop dealerships if you can.

I found that dealer pricing varied widely on this part. If you are in an area where you can, call around to various dealers. I saw prices from 72 to 96 bucks, then bought it at Madera Ford in CA for 52.

Could find a pic either.

Blu,

I did some searching, but I couldn't find a pic either but here is one mounted on a motor, it is the nut with two wires sticking out of it to the right of the oil fill tube.

Your part number is correct.

Mac.

Mostly I searched " Tach Sensor E5TZ17B384A " on Ebay also search Google and see shows When I found the one i ordered there were several to choose from ranging from 45.00 to 100. I only found 2 listed today .
Here is the site for Uhaul that lists it :
http://epc.uhaul.com/LinkOne/Viewer/...ok=u-haul/ford

I don't know if that helps but it is the best info I have now (Remember new things get listed on Ebay all the time If your not in a big hurry I would wait a while and see if a better deal shows up.)
