i now have the funds to purchase a new EEC (electronic engine control) unit. When i search for one on the world wide inter-tubes there are about a dozen that "fit" my vehicle. I called the manufacturer to ask which one specifically i should order and he said i would need to get the number off of the one in my van. Is there a way to know this number with out pulling the engine compartment apart and where is it located if i do have to physically look at it. I Appreciate all the help and knowledge from you guys.

Best way to ensure you are getting the correct emission related components is to use the vehicles calibration code. You can find this in the drivers side door jamb. The CAL code provides the specific emission system for that vehicle. When getting dealer parts, this CAL code ensures you get the right emission parts. In my experience, the fidelity of the emission parts gets lost in aftermarket parts as one might expect.

Here are a few examples of the Ford vehicle calibration codes I found on the web.
