The only difference between the 95 and the 96 valve bodies was the Solenoid.
And the only differences between the Solenoids was electronic, not physical.
Everything else is EXACTLY the same.
The 95 Solenoid can be used ONLY on the 95 because it was a LOW RESISTANCE solenoid.
If you use a 95 solenoid on a 96 Computer, you will short out the computer.
The 96 Solenoid is a high resistance solenoid and can be used on ANY year.
Go back and tell the guy you are only paying $275,
and you aren't bending over...
