Vats ???

Hi all got a good one here. just did a motor swap in a 1985 z28 it was tpi i went to carb took out the computer also. with every thing hooked up i crank it over and she starts no problem turn it off go back to start it and nothing but i have plenty of juice to everything. wait about 10 mins and same thing she will crank a few times then die

i was just going through some archives here and i noticed certain people had the same problems and they mention the vats does the 85 z28 have the vats and if so how do i take it out completely. thanks

You'll see a "security" light blink on the dash when you start the car if it has VATS. Also the key will have the black plastic resistor with a small metal tab.
