So about 10 days ago I bought this 87 F-250 4x4, 7.5, auto that wasn't running because of a fuel delivery issue according to PO. It was a 100+ miles from home so I had it towed to a local shop - they determined the fuel selector valve was bad and none of those from Napa were right. After some searching for an NOS part and a used part failed, doing a bunch of searching forums and FB groups, speaking to the dealer several times. Dealer assured me the superseded part would work so, I ordered it and had it sent to the shop. Well, I can now confirm without a doubt that the new (and still current part) fits and works as the original and previous superseded parts do - no modifications whatsoever. The new part appears to be from a 2006 F-250, diesel application.
E7TB-9F271-AA - Original 1987 part
F4TZ-9189-A - Superseded part
E5TZ-9189-B - Superseded part
F5TB-9F271-AA - Superseded part 6C3Z-9189-A - Current Part, gas or diesel applications - $323 from fordpartsworld.com - list $480
I suspect those 4 and 5 dated parts precede the E7TB part and this new part will also work on pre-87 trucks also but cannot confirm this. I have seen photos of them and they look the same however.
The last time Ford put a part number on a part was about 1955.
That number on the part is not the part number. It is an engineering number.
The Ford part number changes from time to time is why they do not put the part number on the part.
