M6 Impala SS?
M6 Impala SS? Had a guy send me a private message here a few days ago, about "jumper wires" to make the AC work on an Impala SS, that had been converted to a 6 speed manual transmission. Sounds like he was trying to use an F body M6 tune?
I have been doing M6 Impala SS cars since 2005. Properly done, there are no jumper wires involved. Everything works like they always did, but you have to shift gears yourself.

Hey Mr. Ed.. Long time no see.. You have any kick *** 383's laying around? lol.. I remember you had one a few years back for sale but my money wasn't right.. Glad to see you still visting the forums..
No 383"s. LOL. THE 350" I have in the car now has run almost quick as the 383" did. Best it has gone so far is this year is 9.88.

Must be a logic issue with the tune potentially being from the wrong platform. The tune in my M6 Roadmaster is based on the stock b-body tune. The downside of this is that the reverse lockout doesn't function properly (but a switch can be wired up).

I was going to hardwire the lockout to a button on the shift **** to actuate the lockout. I can get a Volvo 240 shift **** with the 5th gear button in the junkyard for a few bucks, was going to try that. How do you go about changing it in the tune? I don't remember seeing any parameters for it in Tunerpro.

Ed has more cool stories and experience with the LTx than practically anyone. I loved the story about testing the edelbrock package for the magazine, having to sugar coat the results to keep the sponsor who gave the parts happy. Racing east coast vs west coast, running a "stock" 350 in the 9s, all of it.
