I have been working on the LS3 418 since last fall. Made a lot of changes to the car. I finally got to start it today, but can't get the damn MSD 6010 to connect to my laptop. I have a good USB to serial adapter so I don't have a clue what is causing this problem.

Sounds brutal can't wait for track times on this one.
Those usb to serial adapters can be a real headache...what works with one combo gives problems with another.

Make sure the MSD is powered up. Try different COM ports in the "port" menu. If your USB -> serial adaptor works on other stuff, chances are it'll work on the MSD.

I just got the adapter today, when I discovered my laptop didn't have one. The only choice I get on the com port is com3. It won't let me change that.

Had the same issue.. Try few different port numbers until one recognizes the box

this is the reasons I went carb'd rather than FI. Still had to F with a laptop and port numbers IRQ numbers etc.

It won't let me swap ports. I have no choice but com3.

Fixed the connection problem this morning. On some computers, pin 9 on the serial cable is used to activate modem software. When this is the case, the MSD won't connect and you can't swap com ports. I broke off pin 9, then I could swap to com4 and now it connects perfect.

Hmm weird problem. Wouldnt ls3 require the MSD 6012 because is has a front mount cam sensor and 58x crank wheel?

It has the 24X reluctor, so you have to use the 6010 and the LS2 timing gear.
