88 2.9 4x4 - Which TPS do I need?

[GingerKing13]

I broke the connector on my TPS and need a new one but there are 2 types.

There is a Centered Index Slot TPS and an Offset Index Slot TPS.

What is the difference and how can you tell?

None of my local parts stores have them and I don't want to order both from rock auto and have to ship one back.

Thanks guys.

if you look at the "daily driver" section part numbers TH22 and TH46 are made by the same manufacturer. The only difference I see is one has a center line on the top for connector guide.

I think what they mean by index slot is the plastic line molded into the sensor so that the wiring harness connector only plugs in one way. I would look at the sensor you have or your harness connector and buy the one that matches.
