Re: Help with '85 Corvette '870 ECM

Craig,

I'm in the same boat you're in - just learning (also fellow forum member -
18carfan). Did you see the forum post that mentioned the site where the
fellow changed from an '870 to a '165 ECM. Seems like a pretty good idea.
Lot more support out there for the 1227165 it seems like. Anyway, let's keep
and touch and learn as we go. I also just got the Tunercat software, a
burner, eraser, etc. I also picked up some kinda emulator that plugs into
the burner and the other end (ribbon cable between them) plugs into the ECM.
Suppose to let you change stuff on the fly but I don't know - we'll se i
guess.
