ECM upgrade help
I want to upgrade my '85 ECM to a '86-'89 ECM. I have a '86 ECM, a '86 harness, a '86 MAF, and the two MAF relays. I read the tech article and I'm having a hard time understanding it.
If the following is wrong please correct me:
The '85 harness connctors will fit, only the pins have to be moved around.
The '86 MAF and relays are used.
The MAS is not used.
A new custom prom will be needed.
My speedo, gauges, and TCC will still function properly without mods.
Also, Could anyone post or e-mail me simpler, easier to read instructions on how to do this.
Anyone know where I can get a custom prom burned? (moderators-If I'm not supposed to ask this, sorry, let me know and I'll change it or feel free to edit it.)
I just don't have the cash for the necessary tools to do it myself
Thanks
Matt

Search the DIY Prom board for Mike Davis and read up on the way to do it.
really the 730 is the way to go.
