Need help to identify this part

I do not work on Fords very much and cannot Id this part. I found it on the passenger floor. It looks like a position sensor, but that is my wag. It looks like it has not been hooked up fo awhile. The grounds and the niipple do not show any recent wear.

I hope someone can tell me what it is and where it goes. Is it even needed or I can just put it on a shelf?

That is for the electric choke, it goes on the passenger side of the carburetor, that spring on the inside heats up, and expands and contracts to open up and close the choke.

I would think if you do have a carb that it was replaced, no way it would run right without it

Thanks. Funny thing is the one on the carb looks worse then the one in my hand. I just do not work on carbs much anymore. I only have one vehicle with carbs, but they do not have chokes.

Don't hate because I am more of a chevy nut.

Holy engine! Haha but yeah no problem! I just got done rebuilding a carb so I knew instantly what that part was, they are very cheap to replace, I think between 5 and 10$ on rock auto if that

1983 Monte Carlo SS. The first new car I ever bought. It was the first year they built the SS to use the nose in Nascar. That is when the race cars looked like real cars.
