I think with those two things you would need a aftermarket/custom chip. I will keep a eye out for a chip for you. If you are looking for a stock one try the auto parts store, that is where my brother got his for his 86.

No, your the guy with the 85' chip. You have the oddball ECM and prom chip. They are the old 2732a style. Those are the ones I had to order from freakin' Canada! Customs takes a long time. No one here is looking to rip you off over $50. Your chip is coming. Now the 86 and up TPI chips are easy because they are very plentiful and readily available!

Yeah the 1985 870 ECM takes a prom that is just like the GM TBI style proms. They are harder to find nowadays.

I recently bought a custom chip from 91tpiman for my 86 and I received it pretty quickly and it performed very well. I don't know about your situation but he treated me well and let me know if I had any issues with his chip he would burn me another one
