Removal
Remove negative battery terminal. Disconnect 10-pin and 14-pin connectors from computer. Remove vacuum hose from vacuum transducer. Remove mounting screws from inside air cleaner and remove computer.
Do not remove grease from harness connectors or connector terminals in computer. Grease is used to prevent moisture from corroding terminals.
Installation
If there is not at least 1/2 "of grease on bottom of computer connector terminals, apply a liberal amount of multipurpose grease (Mopar No. 2932524) over entire end of plug before reinstalling. Reverse removal procedure to complete installation

I Pulled The Computer Off The Truck, But I Can't Find A Number Of Any Kind On It At All. The Large Plug in Has 14 Prongs And The Small Plug in Has 10 Prongs. Can You Tell Anything By This ? I Can See Down Inside The Part That Connects To The Air Line And It Has A Little Round Cap Type Thing In There That Has A Number 5206377 RCA CA 8714 And This Is The Only Number I Can Find.
