Chevy Racing Street Rod Computer??????? I got this computer off ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33596
It had the correct service number needed to run on my Painless Wire Harness for my LS1 into First Gen Camaro conversion.
Does anybody know where I can get more info on the basic programming that is in this unit?

Okay. So, if I hook this up to my 69 Camaro with a basically stock LS1, it should have sufficient programming to get it running and work out the mechanical bugs before fine tuning??????
I am running a Ford 9" with 3.5 rear gears. Does it have to be programmed for the 3.5" gear?

yes, it will fire and run well with a stock or near stock motor. if you're using a 4L60e transmission, and/or using a 1998 gauge cluster in your conversion you'll want to program the computer for the gear ratio. If not, it isn't a big deal at all. The pcm will still need a speed sensor input to determine whether the car is idling or cruising.
Either get it programmed, or use one of the little 555 timer "VATS bypass" modules .. either way will work ... Trending Topics

My Painless harness has a VATS disable built in, so I should be cool there.
What I thought was weird about this computer is it says Chevrolet RACING on the sticker, and Street Rod, etc. It also says Auto trans on the sticker.
That is super great news that I can "plug-n-play" once I get it all hooked up.
I will be running Autometer Gauges aftermarket gauges.
The only thing that bites now, is my motor is a 2000 model. Per the painless wiring instructions, I have to down grade to 1998 sensors. I think most are the same, but I already see at least the ECT is different.
