It's alive finally.

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.
