How can I tell if this is the right chip?
I don't have any of the parts yet besides the ECM. How can I tell if what I bought is an AUJP? There are no markings? I really only care that everything else besides the PROM is proper.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the jumper on the lower left in the picture is to strap the ECM hardware for an 8 cylinder engine. So odds are that the knock filter and CALPAK resistors are not for an L98.

I bought this on eBay from the same guy in the other thread I made about the TCC stuff. I found this out after I won the auction. I guess I will just ask for a refund and cite this thread if they need proof.

Re: How can I tell if this is the right chip?
I was more concerned about the knock filter and resistor packs than the PROM. I would need to have something flashed, because this is going in an '87.

Can check this thread for the resistor pack numbers/values for the AUJP.

Re: How can I tell if this is the right chip?
I'm not getting any information from that other than the resistor values being off. I looked up the numbers on the resistor networks. It's for a 2.8 V6. I am at the end of my road again. I am not going to spend more than $100 for 1980s junk technology.

Re: How can I tell if this is the right chip?
Yeah, I do understand. It's a rip-off and I'm not spending hundreds of dollars on 1980s technology for a gain of nothing other than getting rid of my problematic MAF. A factory tune is fine. My car is stock and will remain stock. There is no justification for any of this old crap to even cost over $100. The only service I need is a chip to be burned to deal with the VSS and lack of VATS. I don't need tuning, especially if it means sending the thing back and forth. This is my daily driver. I don't need any kind of Moates adapter nonsense. I can buy a 28-pin DIP socket and solder it in myself. Going with a MegaSquirt would be a lot cheaper, but I really have no desire to tinker with how my car runs. My main concern is getting the correct knock filter.

Re: How can I tell if this is the right chip?
If you want to net < $ 100 for the project, I definitely recommend parting out a SD TPI third gen.
Alternately, a new MAF is < $ 200.
Or, to really keep it budget friendly, you could unplug the CEL bulb, and I'll sell you an airfoil. Just don't corrode it with your tears.

Nope.
I don't get the reference of an airfoil. Grow up.

Re: How can I tell if this is the right chip?
If you're not willing to pay market value for the parts, then you either will never get what you want/need, or you need to find alternative methods of accomplishing what you want.
AUJP MEMCALS pull a premium because they are not as common as V6 MEMCALS, and they are getting more and more difficult to find. There was a time when you could find an AUJP MEMCAL for $100 or so, I know I got one in a trade once where the trade value was less than $100. Those days are long gone now, so the market has deemed a price increase for these hard to find parts.
People pay FAR more for even older and more outdated technology when trying to get their vehicles up and running the way they want.
I'll throw you a bone on this one, there's a way to retain your existing external knock filter with a '7730 (and similar) ECMs.

People should pay $ 200+ if they're not willing to read.

Re: How can I tell if this is the right chip?
You have a poor attitude. Please stay out any threads of mine. This doesn't solve anything of needing the correct netres values. I'm not going to spend $200 on a PROM, some resistor networks, and a knock filter, so this thread might as well just be closed, please. I don't need any of this. I could just call up a junk yard and have the car scrapped, which I might do soon because of salt being used in the winters.
