Re: ecm prom compatability

There should be a 3 or 4 letter code on the PROM, what is it?

FRH is correct for an '85 Firebird with the 2.8l engine. It is FED emissions, with the 700R4 transmission (automatic), and manually controlled A/C system.

The ECM won't come with a PROM and the '6870 PROM won't work in the '7302 ECM. I don't know if the '7302 ECM is any better, although it likely does has better firmware.
