If any of our members are located near KY/OHIO and want to make some cash i will pay you for travel and for your services. This whole ECM Test has me baffled if someone wants to take a small road tripp and do it for me i will pay!!!! i tried to get a local mechanic to do it with the write up and looked at me like i look at those wires evertime i get the urge to give it a shot...

If you have an autoparts store nearby, see if the have the ECM tester

If you want, I have an ECM Test harness I could ship you for ~$10 with Paypal. It would plug directly into the ignition module on one end and the distributor on the other. There is only one (green) wire that you must hook up to the negative(-) side of the coil.

I think its because John N utter (who came up with the bypass) does not want his name associated with a technically illegal modification.

What exactly does the harness do?

[Baskinator]

It allows your ignition to bypass the computer without actually having to splice wires (other than the green coil wire). It's a plug and play ECM Test.

Your '82 will be slightly different because the ignition module has 3 wire connectors. I believe adding a jumper wire to the two prongs on the odd connector basically turns it into a 2 connector module, but I'm not certain. My '82 runs fine using a 2 connector module and the ecm test harness.

You'd still have to mess with the stepper motor on the carb. I've never had to do that since I have a non-feedback Carter BBD.
