Steve Wong could probably tell you, or you could just look on his site (911CHIPS - Performance Chip Tuning for the Porsche 911). Be careful though, someone may have changed out the DME at some point in the car's career unless you bought it new...

OFF STEVE WONGS SITE:
Q: My car is an '87, how do I know whether I have a 24 or 28 pin chip?
A: 1987 was a transitional year when Porsche was in the process of changing from a 24-pin chip over to a 28 pin one. The only way to find out is to open your DME and count the pin legs on your current chip. It is typical black rectangular chip with a factory matte foil sticker on top with a sequence of numbers reading something like 1267355xxx. Visit the chip installation instructions section for the full guide on the removal and installation of a chip.



I would like to open the unit up and check to be sure. Could you give me till Wed.? I'll PayPal you then if mine is a 24 pin. Like you said, the unit could have been changed out at some point.
Is the chip for a stock 3.2 w/ cat and 91 fuel?
Thanks,
Bob
