I’m currently in the process of fixing my motor, I was just curious if I can run the engine just fine without the actual intake for the TPI on the car just to test run? Or is that something I have to have installed for it to run?

It would rev to the moon without a throttle.

Are you asking about the air cleaner assembly and air duct that connects to the throttle body?
