Hi Ti,
I'm the one that "suggested" the part number.  The ICU in my '85 4kq crapped
out and this is the number on the crapped out unit and the replacement ICU I
installed.  Perfect operation since.  So, this part does work with a 5cyl
engine.  A gentle reminder that this is the lil' Hall control unit and not
the main computer.

The "web catalog" is thepartsconnection catalog.  Prolly not infallible, but
I'll bet exceptionally reliable.  Also, this same module # is listed in their
catalog for quite a number of other 5 cyl models.  See my list post from a
few days ago summarizing this.
