are you talking about the TBI?   if you are, some of the early ones have a heater in between there.  it is usually found on autos.  there are not found on the 91 and newer.  it helps the runability for the poor idle control on the early models.

it has different wiring and ecm.  so it is not plug and play.  Different connections. so you will need to convert the wiring, disty, ECM, valve cover, and maniforld.  I have one of each in my samurais...

That plastic thing is an air heater, I thought it was for cold weather
starting, I removed mine years ago, as I don't live in a cold climate.

I think it's called the positive temperature coefficient heater, or
something like that, it has a basket like thing with a screen like
thing on the bottom of the basket
