84 ECM removal
I know the opinion is that changing the chip in an 84 is not worth it ...but I'm doing it anyway.
I have a shop manual and it shows how to get to the chip, but it simply says remove the hush panel and remove the ECM -when I look up in there, After removing the hush panel, I can't really tell what srews to take out - has anyone done a set of instructions for this?

My big problem is seeing up close unless I take out my contacts and have good light ... I did that and then I could "see" what you indicated ... dam old age is catching up!
When I could "see" it and how easy it was to get out, I felt like an idiot
Thanks, Glen

^^I hate my eyes going bad......I used to be able to see better than terrific, now, I need reading glasses......so when you are too close to something (i.e. under the car or under the hush panel) it is impossible to see.
I have all these different glasses in different magnification for different scenarios. and they all fall off while trying to work on cars.

Thanks, that is exactly what I found -but the carrier in the 84 is black as pointed out in the later post.
