Default ECU change

Hello.
I have this 1984 240 gl that is giving some problems. The technician said that it is necesary to change the ECU. The problem: I live in central america (Honduras) and it is not easy to get an used ECU or neither a new one. So I will have to use other methods, maybe ebay
The big question is this: How do I know the exact model of the ECU that my car needs?
Thank you very much.

You need to pull your old one and get the numbers off of it and look for one that is the same.
