ECM = engine control module (93s only).
PCM = powertrain control module. (94+).

Just clearing up some acronyms.

Such a simple question and such wrong answers!

YES the Caprice PCMs will work it simply needs to be flashed with what you want in it.

Yes the Caprice has two knock sensors in parallel (they are 2x impedance) resulting in the impedance being the same are the circuit.

You can buy tunercats and a cable and load it yourself or get someone to load it for you

Good luck
