Autohaus AZ (autohausaz.com) has them for $115.  If that's not low 
enough, I bet you can get a used one from Chris Semple at Force5 Auto 
(force5auto.com).

I am 99% sure you have the AFC.  The switchover happened in '94 
construction year, mid-'95 model year, at least on the sedan.  Mine says 
"AFC" on a sticker right on the driver's-side cylinder head, along with 
a bunch of other information..
