Yes there "Was" generally it's a little white plastic ball. To replace it Ford sells the whole shebang for arouse $35- to $40.00.

The mod is shimming the FPR spring to raise the fuel pressure. First you need to measure your fuel pressure (70-75 psi is ideal). If your pressure is low you remove the spring and plunger and put a "bb" in and then replace everything.
