Yeah, its a "dohickey" to reduce electrical interferrence in electronics like the stereo and junk from what Ive gathered. I yanked it off my old engine when I pulled the emissions and didnt notice a change in anything. Theres one on the distributor too.

All it is is a condensor. It reduces EM noise interfearance so you can still "bump" your goonit from the radio. Try taking it off one day in the dark and in the right weather conditions you could probably see the ignition happening.

Yes, I am aware of that pressure sensor below the oil filter, but disconnecting the "condensor" or whatever it is still causes the oil pressure gauge to malfunction on at least 3 seperate 84-85 model RX-7's I checked to be sure it was not a fluke.
Someone with a 84-85 FB disconnect yours for expermental purposes and tell me if it effects your oil pressure gauge function!
