    2 sensors on the flywheel, more then likely your ecu ends in the part number 021

          86 and 87 had 027 ECU's, which allowed you to remove and install a chip (IE not soldered on)

            ya 027 removable chip
            007 can't remeber if you can remove the chip in them or not
            then 021 has the soldered in chip
