Looks like a speed governor.

Also looks like water damage. Your wiper module may have met a similar fate.

Ah, then I am incorrect. I assumed it was for the 150-350 trucks.

Have you checked for voltage at the wiper motor itself or jumped it? I would start with an EVTM.

I haven't dug behind the dash on ford medium duty trucks, but it's common for medium duty trucks to have an idle-up feature to boost up the rpm to 1500-2000 to spin up PTOs and hydraulic pumps faster. Do you have a switch on your dash that does nothing? It might be your idle-up switch. On early 90's GMC medium duty trucks, their throttle bodies are kind of unique. The throttle cable goes to the throttle body, where it turns a potentiometer, that commands a servo to open the throttle. It simplifies the idle-up linkage, since it's just a digital signal at that point. I'm guessing ford does a similar thing, which might explain your throttle issues. Take a picture of your throttle body and post it here.
