Confused as to which OEM is correct for a NON - California '87 GM. Is it CX-1823 or 24??? I got FOAE-9F715-B1A, from Amazon and not sure if it is right. Box "says" it is CX-1824. This one has the connector at a 90 degree angle and the original has a straight connector. Just want to make sure....Bobby

The 90* connector is the one Mustangs use, factory should be straight.2020 F250 - 7.3 4x4 CCSB STX 3.55's - BAKFlip MX4

I have used 5 different IAC's all with no difference in performance. I've used a original 87 Town Car OEM, a replacement that appears to be a parts store rebuilt Ford OEM, a SN95, an Explorer and a Mustang . BTW for anyone reading this for IAC info, the connector plug for the 87 Town Car IAC will not fit in a SN95 or Explorer IAC connector, but a SN95/Explorer connector will fit in the 87 Town Car Style connector.87' Lincoln Town Car Stars + Stripes.

They certainly look alike except for the angle of the connectors. Wonder if they are metered alike??

I have used both the straight and angled plug iac and not noticed a difference between them. I even used the one from my 86 Aerostar 3.0l v6 and it worked too.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - Currently restoring after she caught fire!

It works, you just have to plug it in before bolting it up if you have the angled connector. Its pretty near impossible to plug it in otherwise. The IACs are all basically identical other than which direction the plug aims.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Close enough, computer controls the metering. If its idling too low, computer tells the iac to "open up" more, and vice versa.Originally posted by miamibob View PostComment
