Slight IP problem.. self induced.
This is a thread that I have posted in the "parts" section. Maybe you can read it and tell me if this will work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- WTB: om617 IP top plate Let me explain... I decided to try to remove the ALDA on my '85 300td and in the process RIPPED the plate on top of the IP that the ALDA is connected to. I need a new one. I am still driving it since it does not seem to leak fuel.. but I need a new one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPLY I see that I was not very specific... story of my life. All I need/want is the top plate that screws to the top of the IP. This plate is what the ALDA attaches to. I assume I can unscrew the four screws and pull the plate off, ALDA and all. But it does occur to me that the ALDA has to push/make contact with something in the IP.... so that plate may have a magic rod that is attached deep deep in the bowels of the IP. I decieded to park the TD and got my dead grandmothers Cadillac out of storage... Good ole 5.7 V8 put the poor TD to shame  . If I had the TD handy I would try to pull the plate off.Anyway... hope this helps -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes you can remove the plate, but...YOU MUST REMOVE THE ALDA BEFORE YOU CAN REMOVE THE PLATE.
That being said, there is an e-clip that holds a washer and spring for the rod that is actauted by the ALDA. You must remove the e-clip, washer and spring - then you can remove the plate. Be careful because the parts will go flying if you are not careful. I found this out while disassembling an IP in the junk yard. I ended up breaking said rod as I was prying on the plate. If you don't put the spring on after you have finished fixing the plate you will have NO power what so ever, ask me how I know.

I will say the TD's faster now. I guess the damage to the plate allows the ALDA to sit higher thus having a similar effect to removing it.

The ALDA has a stationary male thread. The plate has a rotating female nut that remains on the plate. You can use a 1-1/16" wrench for the plate nut and I think its a 24mm for the ALDA. Sometimes it can be a bugger to get off the first time.
