Re: OBDII on a 86 camaro???

OBD 2 started 1994 but went big in 1996 to 2001. for an engine swap I presume you would use the donor harness. The sensors if purchased seperately would cost a fortune. OBD2 was for better emissions and diagnosis. Not sure why you would want to go that route on an older car unless the engine swap.

EBL is the bettter idea for an 1986. see dynamicefi.com

Look in the tpi boards. A few of us have. Damn engines run smooth and get better economy. Its 21 pages long from start to finish but most what u need to begin is in first 5 pages. I did it for around $1000 but I converted a truck harness.

rusty it aint a big deal, just takes time, and most of the TPI sensors will work
