My car has not run so smooth in years. I highly recommend you get a motorcraft unit.

good luck.

That's real close to what my oem replacement box looks like (except brown tab, wiring, Motorcraft cast-in name).
Has the smooth housing, no ribs, etched-in p/n.
I think the original had 'ribs'. There were many versions over the years.
Someday, the aftermarket may be the last source for these items.
Looking on Rock Auto for the yellow one, only the Standard and Airtex looked right.
The Motorcraft picture and p/n looked like the wrong one, even on the Ford site..
