Default I think pcmforless gave me the wrong chip? Help?

It says on the chip pcmforless alvin anderson tuned EFI and a few other things. Do ALL chips say EFI or no? There seems to be to many prongs to fit in the stock ecm. Looks like 1 to many. I don't want to bother them if I can get it solved here. Any help appreciated. Oh yes, I know some guys on here don't like them and say alvin is rude but I have had great service with them so if all you have to add is complaints, don't bother posting!!!

I ordered mine about the same time you did yours but I haven't put it in yet. Funny thing though, since there was no spec sheet or anything with it when I got it in the mail the thought briefly flashed through my mind "what if they confused mine with his?" Now I'll have to open up my ECM and make sure it fits...

What year is your car? The chip plugs into the factory chip then you plug it into the ECM. It show you how to install it on the web site.
