You have multiple cams???

If you are sitting in the car the engine turnes clockwise. Sorry thats all I know,

I don't think the computers are interchangable. You may need a new guage cluster among other things, I don't know for sure.

Are you at TDC on the compression stroke? Turn the engine over and watch the intake valve open and when it closes you should be close to TDC
