changing a 98 computer car to a 99+
I am real close to installing the drivetrain back in the car. I am gonna see how the Speartech modded harness works out on the stock engine before putting in my MS3 cam. If it doesnt work out the way I hope it will, I will be repinning my 98 harenss, buying a 99+ IC and fuel tank set up. Eigther way I will have RTT in my 98 Z28.

98 fuel gauge can work! I have successfully done this swap and kept the 98 cluster fuel gauge working. The wiring is already at the PCM and only then requires a custom file. I will be adding a link eventually to my web page with detailed directions on the swap. The file will be availble also.

Sounds very interesting Al,
I look forward to seeing it, if you don't mind sharing the file before it is posted, could I see a copy Ryan212@aol.com
I want to do this swap, and know there has to be a way to do it without changing the cluster and tank.
Thanks
Ryan

Al,
Seriously, will all due respect, how do you change the parameters in the cal file? I can see altering the data in the parameters. 98 has 15.5 steel tank and 99+up has bigger plastic tank thus, the parameters are different. Are you doing a ratio scaling of the values? I am interested as everybody else is. My hat is off to you for figuring this out. I guess I was just in a hurry to get things done and didn't think that hard about it. As I was already swapping the rear and I thought What the hell swap the tank and upgrade the pump and wiring too. I am all for making these swaps as easy as possible for 98 owners. There are myriad of reasons to upgrade to later operating systems.
