Cheaper solution is a 1/2" copper cap. Drill a 1/4" hole in the end and insert it into the IAC feed line. Revs will be much better. Cost you all of 40cents. You'll spend more time gettign the cap then making it and installing it.

Yes, if you're talking about the restrictor plate. It wouldn't hurt to get a couple of gaskets too, they are only $0.40-$0.50 USD

By the way here's another thread with a source for restrictor plates:

http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/...strictor+Plate

He's cheaper, and has received good reports from buyers, but I had previously bought one from 34_ford on Stangnet. The fitment of the plate I got was perfect.
