A friend of mine recently bought this car in very good shape! Its been needing some work and he says that apparently he needs a new computer for it? I'm no expert, but he is having a hard time finding one. Any idea where one could find this part?

Thanks!

Wrecking yard would be next best after that. If you having troubles finding on I'll ask the Toronto crew if they have any spares that they're willing to sell.

There are two types BTW... I forget the digits (059 and 061, I think) but you're likely looking for a low compression ECU. The hi-comp won't do you any good.
