There are apparently two models of CPS used in the urS. As Teddy mentioned,
his '92 urS had a CPS similar to the GB CPS while mine used a fairly
different CPS. The family album list only one part number from 92 to 96 so
it seems the only way to find out which one you need is to remove it.
Considering the cost of the CPS, I suggest you buy the two models instead of
drilling, glueing, and crossing fingers like I did.

The GB CPS is the CYHME301. The S-Bitch had a CYHME56. Both will work but
installing the same model than you have on your car will probably be easier.
Vincent.

it was probably about a half hour for me, but i already had the camshaft
pulley off to change the camshaft seal.

what he said. i had several jars for bolts and it wasn't enough to
keep everything straight.

sounds like your car is different. mine looked like the replacement CPS
and it was black.

i don't recall a pin. after i took out the bolts, the bracket came right
off.

mine was riveted on. i drilled them out. there was no glue.

i soldered, too. i also left a lot of the old wire in place and did my
best to make the splices accessible in case i have to go back in there
(i.e. i screwed up a splice).

your car is different. the new CPS looked exactly like the old one, except
that two of the wires were swapped. i matched up color to color. to secure
the CPS to the bracket, i used a nail and then a center punch to flatten the
rivets.
i see why it took you so long. mine was a piece of cake, except for
a brief pause to figure out whether the altered position of the wires
on the new CPS would be an issue.
my car is a '92. isn't yours a '97?
