Tommy, to the best of my knowledge the only electronics are idle speed and EGR. Idle speed can be set manually which I would think would be fine for a gen/set. The EGR is totally unnecessary for a gen/set. The sensor on the flywheel is for rpm sensing for the tach and the idle speed. Glow plug control would be needed which could be manual or use the glow plug controller from the car (or junk yard car). Of course you would need some way to charge the starting battery and a starter. Once the engine is running all it needs is fuel. There are no detached fuel pumps so all you need is a fuel tank, supply line and return line. Basicly, it is a self contained power unit. I forgot, you will need a cooling system which is very basic since you don't have a HVAC system.
Hope this helps and good luck,
Paul
