One  thing I did find out today was that If I were to buy a new ECU  
from  an parts store, and they do sell them, it would not work until I   
installed it and then took the car (get it towed) to a chevy dealer   
to 'flash' the ECU. Apparently they come blank from the  manufacturer.  
The charge for flashing the ECU I assume would be over  $100.00. I  
can't imagine that it would be any less. If I'm going to  put that  
much money into the ECU, I'll be buying a MegaSquirt unit.  The other  
option if I were to use a Cavalier ECU would be to  purchase it from a  
salvage yard. That 's a possibility. I went to  uneedapart.com. This  
is a nationwide network of salvage yards. They  will give you a price  
including shipping. I'm getting prices from  $50 bucks up to $100 for  
the Z24 unit which was the 2.4 liter engine  I believe. There is of  
course no way to test and make sure the unit  is good until it is  
installed.

I'm leaning towards the  MegaSquirt unit.

Why not use the Fiero system if you can find one.  Craig Nicol has  them on 
his rigs and appears very satisfied with it.
