84/85 to 86/87 ECM conversion question...

[John84GN]

I recently went to the junkyard, and got an ECM from an 88 delta...the numbers match up, I think...1227148...right?

The question's I have are:

The number on the calpak reads: 16036495...

1. I was reading up on this, and saw that the correct #'s are xxxxx503 or xxxxx504? Is this correct? Haven't checked, but hopefully my GN has one...

2. Do I need to get a chip from an 86-87 GN in order to make this work, or can I just install what I have (w/ the correct calpak of course).

3. Or, can I just get a performance chip burned for my combo, and use that?

4. If I get a chip burned...who am I getting to do it?

Thanks

2. Yes, it needs to be a later model chip

3. That would be my reccomendation.

4. Lots of people start out with trasher chips because they are cheap, people all have thier favorite burner.

pretty much everything you need to know is here:

the short answer is...

-use your stock calpak

-have a new chip burned for your specific combo
