This was the official recall if the customer complained of "obtrusive variation of idle speed and comfort".
Strange though how many cars actually have had the "modified" ones fitted with the valve on the inlet manifold.
You lost me there mate what you've written seems to condradict itself (to me anyway lol

Early cars had the ISCV on the airbox, but with all the extra pipes and extra distance involved, Ford actually made a "recall" which if a customer complained, involved putting a different manifold on and relocating the ISCV to the inlet manifold. Hence the different types of location. All later ones had the ISCV on the inlet manifold on later cars.
