350 TBI correct computer/prom
Hello, i have a 88 camaro that originally came with a 305 and has been half converted over to a 350. I've been going through it and slowly putting the correct parts on the car.
Today I pulled the computer out of the dash and stumbled upon the following:
1228063 computer.
HYPERTECH PN: 128872 (I looked this up, and its for a 5.0 pontiac/chevy)
I've searched around and I'm a bit confused.
should I get the 1228746 ECM, then a chip for that?
what stock chip should I get?
Thanks.

If you're going to be doing DIY PROM for this car (as the title of this section suggests) then you'd want to use the ECM & software set that you're most comfortable working with that's also compatible with the equipment you're planning to use.
Some factors to consider are if you want/need auto transmission TCC control or shift-light for manual trans, a IAT sensor input, AIR diverter control, CCP control, VATS function, and maybe a few other things.

Re: 350 TBI correct computer/prom
well DIY isnt something im going to immediatey dive into. but it is something i want to learn about in the near future. for the time being I just want to get the car running again (i managed to snap off a pin on the hypertech)
so for right now i just want to run a stock bin, but i dont want to make my transistion to DIY harder when I decide to go that route and end up replacing the stuff again.

As mentioned above, what sort of equipment does your car/engine have and what are your preferences as far as what's running the engine?
For example: some TBI's use an IAT sensor and some do not.
Some ECMs are better/easier for tuning modified engines because of having more controllable parameters and/or larger tables to work with.
Before you choose an ECM and code to work with you probably want to look around to see what kind of support each one has, and how they match what you want to run with. Hopefully you'll get some more opinions on here once you say what all you have exactly and what you need it to do.

Re: 350 TBI correct computer/prom
What about the ECM itself?
Should i leave the 1228063 or is the 1228746 a drop in replacement? or is there something else I should go for?

Re: 350 TBI correct computer/prom
I've looked through most of these pages already and have not seen anything that mentioned the 1228063 ECM.
I was reading https://www.thirdgen.org/promintro
and it looks like the mask my car originally used was $4D. I searched moates for this and could not find it. searched thirdgen.org for this and all I found was one post with a defunct link.
For now I think im just going to pick up a 1228063 ECM from a junkyard and run its 305 prom right now.
Either I'm really retarded with searching for information, or there just isnt that much information on this ECM available.

Re: 350 TBI correct computer/prom
From what I've been reading I THINK the 1228746 is compatable but I'm not sure.
My head is kinda fried from reading all the tuning/ecm information thats out there.
