1983 911SC ECU Problem Recommendation

My 1983 911SC Targa appears to have an Engine Control Unit problem. I am faced with rebuilding the existing one or looking to purchase a rebuilt or used in good working order unit. I was hoping that I could get some feedback on what options there are when faced with this type of decision. Pitfalls, great places to find them, experiences, etc. Anything that can help me in making a good decision. I trust my source that the issue is bona fide with my ECU, just trying to find the best course. Many thanks! Russell

Is yours a later 83 model? There is no ECU until 84. What are the symptoms you are having?

Wait a minute. I have an 82 SC and my mechanic just told me he had to replace the ECU. Is it true there is no ECU until 84? Somethings fishy...

It's possible he was referring to the O2 Sensor Control Unit.
