After you close this reply, scroll up and start at the top, click on each link and subsequent link, you'll soon find what you are looking for.

I'm only a week into it and my reading time is tenfold compared to my time spent changing a parameter and burning a new chip.

Guess what though, it worked and I am not lost on what to do next. I'll take this moment to thank everyone who participates on this list and for all the great information kept here!:hail:

Is Manuel in my car? If he is I can't find him.........haha j/k!

Does your car not have a chip in it now? The Memcal that came in my 1987 Z28 305 was the ABUN. It's for auto trans. It would probably be a good place to start for you. You should be able to get it started on the one that's in it, or maybe we need more info........................

BTW I have a Hypercrap stage II chip for the above car that's just collecting dust since the '730 swap. PM me if interested.
