person in picture is holding the idle air bypass/control (sometimes called IAB or IAC). It is located on the throttle body.

so it looks pretty easy to replace. are they expensive cuz i had a suggestion to replace mine.

Not that expensive. But most times you can clean it and take care of any problem it is giving you.

They are the same thing, just look different. I'm pretty sure the housing (where it mounts to the TB) is the same, but am not positive.

ok so what can i use to clean it?

Parts/carburetor cleaner.

they bolt up the same and they plug in the same but i am wondering if they take the same voltage. the ford place calls for two different part numbers

They do. I am using a Fox computer and wiring harness in my '65, but the engine started out as a SN95, so it still has the SN95 IAC, TPS, and TB. It works perfect.

Here is a pic of my engine. I circled the IAC. You can see, it's a lot smaller than the FOX IAC and it's black.
