If I were to guess, I'd say it's the yaw sensor for the active suspension (based on the "do not drop" stamp).

Does that engineering number say "170478"?

BTW, I had a 1988 T-Bird Sport way back when. I found out that it was totalled shortly after trading it in. It still has the ignition switch recall to date.

Special thanx to EricCoolCats for showing me to this site.:bowdown:

AH-HA!  Governor for the delay wipers!  makes sense now why the plugs match each other.  ford did their 70's cars delay wiper set-up like this.  makes an super easy swap if you have non-delay wipers.

Has a E5 engineering #, the active suspension wasn't avail till the '87 models... The ride control is controlled by a computer in the trunk, look's just like a EEC-IV puter...
