Narrative:

The work assignment I received was to replace the r-hand fuel control on aircraft X. The turnover from the afternoon crew chief was that the wrong fuel control was installed on the r-hand engine. Fuel control company part number ebfc was initially installed previously. Prior to removing fuel control ebfc, I called tulsa engine technician to confirm the part number, eahj which was to be installed. Engine technician advised me it is the correct part number for the aircraft r-hand engine. After installation, we proceeded to leak check and trim the right engine. The partial power, takeoff, N2 acceleration targets were met. Flight idle for the r-hand engine remained inoperative and remained on placard.
