What king of TPS for 13b-RE TB (PIC)

One of the wires came on mine and I need one by next weekend. I plan on starting my first rebuild for the first time with the Microtech, and I don't want this holding me back.

I did search and found this, but was wondering if there was a cheaper one out there that would work?

I've read about the Ford and GM ones, but do I just walk into a NAPA and ask for a 88 Grand Am TPS?

Yeah, you're right.
It's heavily marked up.

We haven't found the exact application on where it comes from, but the Ford unit in the above pic is the same TPS body - the plug is totally different though.

Someone said it came off a Corvette, but I can't confirm that.
It's supposed to be like a $30 part from the GM dealer.
If you want to drive the GM parts guys crazy, you might want to pay them a visit and ask to see all their TPS parts.
