Yeah, it's shaped somewhat similar to an O2 sensor if i remember correctly, on the 350 it's to the left of the center of tbi....passenger side front of tbi is where it should be. I think it takes like a 22mm or somewhere in that size range, or an adjustable wrench(aka crescent wrench). Be careful and use a tad bit of loctite when reinstalling, mine came out with what looked like white lithium grease on the threads....it was either lightweight loc-tite or it WAS lithium grease. Since there is really no heat in that area, using the black/blue/red loctite should be fine, but I would get confirmation on that before you go to permanently affixing your IAC back into your tbi, lol. When you get it out, just use carb cleaner to spray it out really good....cotton swabs are ok but make sure to not let any lint stay in there.
What year t/a you got? I got a couple that are currently just backyard blunders(old projects that got knocked off the back burner). They're an 81 and 80. 80 is black with gold phoenix and 81 is bronze with black phoenix.
Do you know the location on a 305? Cause my truck does similar to his.
