You only typed the basic ID number of 17C476, what is its prefix and suffix? There's no way to tell which one it is, without that full ID number.
Example: Ford ID number: D8TF-17C476-AA = Ford part number: D8TZ17C476A .. Windshield Wiper Governor / Fits: 1978/79 F100/350 & Bronco.
There are...at least TWENTY different types of these used on 1970/80's car/trucks.
If you type the entire ID number, I can tell you what else it was used on, maybe find you a new one if the one you used is obsolete.

I was looking at mine and it reads
7Z2 260 7L03
E7F17C476- AB
DO NOT DROP
Then on the harnes there is a sticker wrapped aroud it that reads Ford E7, looks like 1T then under that is 14A642BB under that is N00302, lastly under that is 7-H.
Mine is a flEbay deal to, and the guy does not live that far away, I could knock on his door if needed, but he assured me it works just as it should.
