1985 om617 ip - peterson - 08-21-2010
have a 1985 617, need to eliminate any unnecessary electronics egr exc. the ip has some type of wiring harness that is coming off the ip, that is my main concern does it need to be wired up for proper operation? engine is going in a jeep project. i do have access to other ips if need be.

no, there are no elect connections that I can think of--Those 'wires' are prolly the vac. pipes and turbo-boost pressure pipes etc....

Some 85's had a rack position sensor on them, I think they were mostly cali editions but I have seen one or two on fed cars.

The rack sensor is just used for the EGR. It won't affect engine operation if unplugged and the EGR disabled.

The only operational difference on the engine is the pilot bearing size.

Plus the RPM pickup for the tachometer and vacuum components for the transmission shifting.
