Question
Hi, I have been thinking about swapping the computer from my 1998 Chevy astro 4.3L to a 1996 Chevy astro 4.3L, they are the same right down to the paint and all (i.e. engine, transmission, etc...), the thing is, I have a bad computer. So, my question is...will the computer WORK???

p.s. how do I check to see if they are the same part number??? i know it has something to do with a sticker thats on the side…

thanks,

david~
