<VV> Fuel injection question

[Cash Case]

Installing fuel injection on my Corvair.

One thing I did find out today was that If I were to buy a new ECU  
from an parts store, and they do sell them, it would not work until I  
installed it and then took the car (get it towed) to a chevy dealer  
to 'flash' the ECU. Apparently they come blank from the manufacturer.  
The charge for flashing the ECU I assume would be over $100.00. I  
can't imagine that it would be any less. If I'm going to put that  
much money into the ECU, I'll be buying a MegaSquirt unit. The other  
option if I were to use a Cavalier ECU would be to purchase it from a  
salvage yard. That 's a possibility. I went to uneedapart.com. This  
is a nationwide network of salvage yards. They will give you a price  
including shipping. I'm getting prices from $50 bucks up to $100 for  
the Z24 unit which was the 2.4 liter engine I believe. There is of  
course no way to test and make sure the unit is good until it is  
installed.

I'm leaning towards the MegaSquirt unit.
