I looked at my ecu ..
no part # on it.
Few engine conversions having the car's VIN ..is very useful.
Few ll vanagon engine conversions seem to have that though.
If you have the donor car's VIN...
then you know tons of things about your engine .
what year it is, what trans it had, if it's CA or not ..
there are about 15 pieces of good info in a car's VIN.
93 Eurvoan Ca version ( if there is a different version for Ca )will
just have to do .
