Ive swaped from an 86 305 TPI to what i classify as a 87 350 TPI system using the 86 wiring. Do i need to change out the ESC (Electronic Spark Controll) along with the PROM or will it work?? Thanks Alex

Best bet is to get a 350 knock sensor and module. Some have reported problems with the 305 pieces on a 350.
