Get a P28 and chip it since they're both OBD-I - you could run a stock LS program or if it's OBD-II run a conversion harness and it'll plug right up to a chipped P28.
OR
You can just run the stock LS ECU and don't need to chip anything b/c they're both OBD-I (unless that LS is OBD-II, in which case you simply need a conversion harness) so it'll plug right up.
As far as the number goes, pull back the carpet in the passengers' foot well, facing out of the car. You have to remove the pin that keeps the carpet down in the front (just pops off), then you can pull it back. Can't really miss the ECU, it's big, looks like a big *** hard drive.
On this big *** ECU is a big *** sticker that says something along the lines of...
XXXXXXXXXXXX-P72-XXXXXXXXXXX
(with the X's being numbers 'n letters 'n **** of course.
The number in the middle (in between the hyphens is your ECU type, so the above is a P72, and the one below is a P28).
xxxxxxxxxxx-P28-XXXXXXXXXX
Can't really miss it. Good luck.

Aren't we all...
Though beware, around H-T lurks some people that NEVER learned...they were blessed from BIRTH with an extremely large Honda intellectual basis. According to them they've never learned, nobody helped them, and they've never been a noob.
You find them once every 1, 2, or 3 threads.
Annoying as hell, too.

Yeah like me... I was born at the Chilton/Haynes Technical Hospital where I was raised from a toddler to do transmission swaps an defined rebuilds on certain rare JDM motors... It's pretty cool and I feel very privileged lol...

No, that would imply that somebody taught you.

sounds like me too. sorry, we arent all too stupid too search. most of my knowledge is 1st hand experience from actually WORKING on cars, but for everything else there is PLENTY of archived threads, not too mention the HUGE FAQ sticky at the top of this forum that covers 90% of all questions that are asked in this forum.
