The only way to tell is to install another ECM & EPROM and see. My question would be what is the issue that they feel the ECM/EPROM fried? Is this a carb car or a TPI?

I've R&R'd a lot of ECMs without disconnecting the battery. Haven't had one go bad from doing that.

'86 Camaro didn't have TBI from the factory. If it actually has one it was swapped on. In this case some detective work is going to be required to see if the install was properly completed.
