The 85 EVTM is here: https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/1985-evtm.html
I kinda know PowerStroke turbos from the '90's, but don't have any book that shows a '89 IDI wiring harness. Gary? Or Jonathan?? 
Jim,

  I don’t know if these help at all, but I think these were for a bricknose 7.3 What shape is your 6.9 engine harness? Are you going to run the 7.3 glow plug controller and 6v plugs or are you going to run the 6.9 controller and 12v plugs? The main thing is don’t mix and match. The 7.3 does actually have a port on the driver side head (plugged) that will accept a 6.9 controller. I would strongly urge that you buy a new, solid state 6.9 controller if you go this route to keep the 12v spade connector ZD1 glow plugs. https://www.accuratediesel.com/shop/60.html If your 6.9 harness is still serviceable but you want to run 6v plugs and controller this video will help: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-tRCcKoOi3M Hopefully there is enough information here for three options and one of them can work for you.
