It would be under the hood inline with the computer and engine right near the computer. On the passenger side.

Behind the passenger side wheel well there's a little space near the firewall and fender and hood hinge where the PCM lives, thats were you'd see it inline with the PCM as stated above me.

okay thats what i thought, it would appear that i was lied to, mine has no "chip" or module in it at all, the guy ended up screwing me all around. he didnt have a title, which i was let know after i paid him, no more long distance car purchases, without cash, and title in hand. and now lied to about this

Consider yourself lucky you don't have it.

I didn't want to be rude with my first post...but I was going to say, a good first mod would have been to remove the POS anyways.

You sure the car isn't stolen? Sounds like a real sketchy seller, and someone else might be wondering where their car is

You're better off tuning the stock PCM...plus software and a cable for 94-95 OBD1 LT1's is very very very inexpensive. It's a non-sponsor, so I can't post a link, but the best software for that PCM is called TunerCat (for tuning) and DataMaster (for datalogging), and there are a variety of cable sources.
