Update from January 7th 2011

Q: Where do I find the my ECU?
A:Underneath the Passenger Kick Panel,

Q:Where on the item is my Catch Code?
A: On the sticker facing the front guard, you have to remove it.

Pic:




General rule of thumb for the Catch Codes are:
First digit is the year of design: 7 = EA, 0 = EB1, 1 = EB2, 2 = EB2, 3 = EB2, 4 = EF, 5 = EF, 6 = EL
Second digit is Ford/Tickford: D = Standard Ford, T = Tickford
Third digit is the model: A = 6cyl manual, B = 6 cyl auto, D = Fairmont or Fairlane, E = Gas of some sorts, J = EL Fairmont Ghia, L = South African Export, N = Police
Fouth digit is the ECU revision.
