1227730

[Steve Ciciora]

This is interesting, 'cause from memory I believe that _my_ '89 Chevy
Beretta, 4 cyl, auto had only an eprom (no module).  While the Beretta
is gone, I have an engine/ auto trans/wiring harness/computer/etc from 
an '89 corsica (I believe the same computer as the beretta, that's why 
I bought it).  I'll have to get the ECM # and open it up.
