Mystery Part/Plug

[Jeeper42]

I'm back again with a new mystery part.
In my build Jeep (86 CJ7 AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l I6 & I removed the AC) I have this plug under my dash.



In a parts jeep I have (4 cylinder) the same plug attaches to this



Does anyone know what this part is and can my Jeep run without it if I can't find it?
Can I use the one from a 4 cylinder?

Thanks again!

That plug goes to the computer that adjusts the carburator if your jeep is still set up that way. Most people have discontinued it. If you live in a state that has emisions control, You will need it. Otherwise it's not needed.

Thanks for your help.

Are you talking about the "nutter bypass"?

Yes, the nutter bypass removes the computer from the system.
