Not 100% sure, but as this is the APC / DI version I would say no. Its a combined box where the APC control is integrated with the DIrect INjection system that came on 9000.

So I wouldnt spend any cash for this on a C900. I think the ones you need to look for is the red APC without DI, or an original one from a C900 instead.

yep. DI/APC will not fit. But DI+APC (separate boxes) can be adapted ( http://www.900aero.com/main/diy_main_di.htm ),

No! For one model year only, DI and APC were fitted to SAAB 9000s and that's the one to grab for DI conversions. This was fitted as two boxes and the DI section can be added to the Classic 900 as a piggy back box.

That said, the Lucas cars seem to adapt very nicely to the full DI box with a T3 head from a 9000. I've not looked much into the practice of this, but my garage didn't seem to think there'd be a problem.

As for an APC box - this one on eBay is a no no!
