1997 fuel regulator

On the fuel regulator on the bowl, there is a sensor that sticks out looks kind of like a oil pressure switch. Mine is leaking and don't know what to ask for. Can anyone help?

vacuum switch leak

My 97 leaked there, and I found out it's called a vacuum swiitch. That is what ford dealer called it. Cost at ford is anywhere between 52 to 67 bucks. Ask them for the best deal, you can get on the price. Surprisingly, they came down from 67 bucks to 52 for me. jcab

Here's a couple of part numbers I found floating around. Call NAPA & see if they can cross-reference them.
(Ford) E8TZ-9S283-A
(International) 1809435c1
