Yes the 870 ECM is the correct one for the '85 TPI system.
As far as hooking the ECM to your dash....dunno, never did a swap like that.
If the engine harness is all hacked up and missing connectors you might be better off looking on E bay for a harness. I got a complete harness (un-cut), ECM and MAS module there for $100. Shop around, you'll find a deal.
