Re: tips for ecu
well to start off i am not sure if i currently have obd1 or 2, i think 1 but not sure.
i was thinking the pcb ecu since that is usually what goes with the h23a
i know staying with the obd1 is usually what is best, plus the obd2 is harder for emissions and here in az i am not exactly sure how strict they are

Re: tips for ecu
Well it depends on if you're staying OBDII or not, which is why I asked.
If you don't have to stay OBDII then I would try to downconvert to OBDI and run a chipped ECU like a P28 with a H23 tuned map on it. Then down the road you have the ability to reflash and tune the chip if you add additional parts (cams, etc)
If you have to stay OBDII, you'll need to verify whatever ECU you get doesn't have an immobilizer on it first. Then play with the distributors since they aren't a direct swap - I think the H22A4 dizzy would work. Then you could potentially use a H22A4 ECU as well - but these have an immobilizer so you'd need to sort that out. I'm not sure if the mystical USDM P13 OBDII manual ecu would work - but those are very difficult to find.

Security Features.... Immobilizer (chipped keys, ignition, theft prevention).
Figure out what you'd like to do. Do you have an OBD2 Wiring Harness? Do you want to re-wire. Maybe speak with someone who knows what you have.
