I've seen some reference in the forums to the "IP lock tool" that goes on the RIV port of the injection pump. I'm talking about the relatively inexpensive, purely mechanical tool here, not the ones using electrical contact or inductive pickup.

My question is whether this tool is applicable to the IP on my particular car. I've read in some accounts that the RIV port is only present on later model ('84 and up) injection pumps, and read in others that it became available in '82. For what it's worth, though my car is an '85, I believe that the engine was swapped in from an '82.

So, here are a couple of pictures. Can anybody cofirm with confidence, one way or the other, if the plug (pointed to by an arrow in the first picture) is plugging an RIV port?

That engine is out of an '83 eskimo and no I don't think the tool can be used in that IP.

Sorry for any confusion Jim - I was thinking '82 from some of the papers in the glove compartment.

I'd love to pop that plug out of the side of the IP to look inside for myself, but I think that discretion is advised! I don't really want to indulge my curiosity to the extent that the pump has to make a trip to an injection shop.

Anybody else want to weigh in here with a yea or nay? Throw me a bone, you Bosch jockeys!
