Part help wanted!

Need a little help identifying this i believe the part # is right next to the ford logo, but this came of my dads 77' f150 with a 302 engine, i promised him id see if i could find one for him and i know that you awesome people on here would be able to help me find one or point in the right direction, thanks!



Supposed to tie into the carburetor and help to run it, this one got wet and shorted out.

That is a throttle actuator, it controls the float bowl vents and the carburetor valve control solenoid (Kickdown) in the carb by pulling in a line off the tach wire and ignition. I believe it was specific to CA emission vehicles
