Yes, I sure believe so. Can't think of any reason not.
( minor thing to consider.............was just looking into main relays
...........forget what year..........but most waterboxer engines have a 4
pin main relay to power the ecu etc.........in later 2.1's.........they have
a 5 pin main relay, very easy to see in Bentley.     I think the 86 and 87
both use the 4 pin main relay. I just keep that black box with the two
relays in it with the wiring harness anyway.....no reason to ever disconnect
the wiring harness from the relay or relay sockets in the box ) .
