Default Which PCM and Fuel rail

I was wondering which PCM to use the 97-98 or the 99-02, because the 97-98 PCM, I have to use the fuel rail which has the fuel inlet and fuel return. While the 99-02 use the single fuel inlet. Right now I have the 99-02 fuel rail, and wondering if I'll have to get the 97-98 fuel rail due to PCM concerns The reason I'm asking this is because I'm putting this in a 88 monte, and rather know what problems I'll run into now then later.

There is no correlation between PCM and fuel rail.

If you have access to a 97-98 Corvette fuel rail, that can make it a little easier to get the return line plumbed, and the FP regulator is included. Otherwise I just use an Aeromotive adjustable inline regulator on the conversions here, which works great and they are easily available!!

Same thinking on the PCM. If you have a 98 PCM already, use it, they work fine; but their rarity makes them cost more. So if you are buying a PCM, get the 99 and newer; MUCH more plentiful and cheaper!

I think he wanted $50 for it.

I have another buddy with a blown up 98 shortblock if you need parts we can see if any are good.

I know pretty much what's for sale around Chicago so let me know I am by O'Hare.
