Congratulations to Raider Bob Palmer, Ph.D..
Like any good scientist, he did his research, found the buried fossil
bones, and showed EVIDENCE that the same part number can have two
different sources authorized by Ford, and produce functionally
equivalent parts with the same Ford ID.
Note that the part's body definitely has the producer's name and part
numbers on it. Not blank, and made in USA.
This picture, and late breaking research, will be included in the
published article as soon as possible.
Thank you Bob for doing the homework, and not just whistling in the
dark. Your expedition bore fruit.
