Well i am assuming that your car is a 94 or 95? If it is, it should work. the safest way would get the service# off the PCM. if the last 3 digits are xxxxxx051 it will work.
94/95 F-bodies shares the same PCM as B-Bodies.

Taner, here is a break down of the interchange for a 96 PCM. This is right off the computer I work off of everyday. You can trust it. Good luck

It is possible that GM's service tag is not there, its a small rectangle white sticker. Some times the sticker looses its "stick" and they peel, or fall off. The service# tag is on the outside case, not on the inside.
The service # is at the bottom of the tag. If the tag is not there, there is an indication inside the PCM. But that means taking the "clamshell" apart.

Well i guess the question would be, when you say "flashed" are you meaning stock form, or flashed for your mods?
GM can flash your PCM with a stock calibration- But it is pricey, plus you have to have the PCM installed in the car.
Aftermarket "flash" or programmed- There are tons of these scattered about, majority of these have good reputations. Some are better than others. Seems pcmforless( www.pcmforless.com)is popular, and customers seem happy!

"T-side" and "E-side" and each side has its own flash chip. If both sides have an 28F512 its a 94/95 PCM. If one side is a 28F512 and the other is 28F010 its an 96/97 PCM.
