Great news!!! Keep the ALDL covered when not in use. If you don't have the stock black plastic cover you can find them in the corvette catalogs. These ECMs are static sensitive and exposed at this port. Not the best design being so close to the carpet.
Great idea that I never thought about. Wifey's 91 L98 lunched an ECM several years back and it never had a cover since I bought it back in 96. Don't know if that's what caused the ECM to go away, but it's worth every precaution.
