    One little thing. This is for the 1982 on. The 1981 and earlier have a different type of plug. Found that out trying to get a code off my 1981 {Pontiac Bonneville).

    It’s mainly geared towards TBI engines using ALDL connectors.

    you could wire a tiny button somewhere that you push and hold, linking them 2 ports to read codes. and never have to do it from below. Or just by the 15-dollar OBD Bluetooth reader..

    Y'know, I had a thought. Building an OBD2 to OBD1 converter that'll translate OBD1 codes to OBD2 scanners. However, I don't think that'll happen, but if I made that as a device, it'll be worth it.

    Paperclip does not work for a 1994 Z28 Camero 5.7L V8 LT1. Only enters code reading mode with fans running.

    It’s probably not fuel injected if it is a 83. I don’t think the caprice was fuel injected until 89
