I have chip I want to try in my 1985 IROC. but I dont want to take the stock chip out of the original carrier. Is there a place that sells just the carrier?

 

They have been out of manufacture for years now. The original manufacturer was Robinson-Nugget. To retool they want to sell like 5K of them.

Get friendly with some junk yard folks, order a new one from GM, or what is called net work.

Almost all the C3 ecms used them, there were 5.9384447393 Jillion of them made.....

 

ok, im dumb what kind of car is a c3?

 

What does the carrier look like? Gimme some better pics of the underside & what-not and I'll make some...

 

A C3 is reference to a series of GM ecms. They all had 2 harness connectors, and used a prom in a carrier like your ecm does.

P4s are series that use a memcal.

 

Why don't you want to remove it? The 3 I did just came right out. Was I just unusually lucky? I removed my old ADS (don't laugh, I bought it when I was 15) chip from its carrier (it was the only one that required any technique, just sqeeze in a push), the stock carriers just pushed right off (stock 85 tpi chip, and stock 84 carbureated whatever chip).

 

I have a complete 85 ecm w/memcal(?)

 

I tried to take it off but it was really tight. and I noticed part of the plastic was broken from when someone else removed it or tried to remove it and I didnt want it to disinigrate in my hand. Also makes its easier to swap out if I had a spare carrier.

 

Do you want to get rid of it?

 

Wont be using it

pm me or email me

 

Thanks for the help guys, I found what I needed at the junkyard. and that one did push right out. I dont know why my stock one didnt. maybe it is gluded in there or something.

 

Craig, I would gladly mail you one if you can tool up to knock em out. (Would like it back though)

 

Sure, no problem. Sounds good.

 

I think I have a couple hundred left if anyone needs a few.
