88's don't have CE's unless I believe it is a Cali model. I thought the same thing when I first got my 88 but come to find out, they don't have them. And I'm not sure on the whole putting one in on a 88 thing. I know if you swaped wiring harness from a newer fox and computer you could. Maybe a maf conversion with some extra wiring but I'm not real sure on that. I'm sure someone will chime in with correct info.

You'll need a testlight and a jumper wire.

That will walk you through it and tell you how to decode it. Hope it helps!
