No, the idle control valve would not have come with the fuel distributor. it is not attached to it in any way. It costs like $200 new so they would have sold you it separate anyway. The idle control valve sits on the intake manifold in front of where the fuel distributor/airflow meter are. it has 2 rubber hoses coming out of it: one goes down under the intake to the engine, the other connects under the airflow meter body. I'll bet these hoses are hard and brittle! they should be replaced just as maintenance on these cars.
