- 88 Convert ( SOLD ) /1973 coupe 4 speed/1964 Vert!
So I scored a Hypertech Thermomaster chip from Eagle for a SONG!
And he shipped it to me FIRST without payment.. ( trusting soul )
It just got stuffed in! With the Reman ECM from Mid America.
( 20 minutes.. piece of cake )
So here's the deal
Well I didn't see God from the blackout from pulling to many G's
But
About a 5-7% increase in hoserpower.
Idle's the SAME ( smooth ).
Fan come's on @ 180 ( Main ).
Shift's a tad firmer.
Ping's JUST a touch ... gotta back my timing off 2 deg ( so 4 deg BTDC )
So TADA!
Now the science projects of the week
This did NOT fix my .......
No main fan on A/C request issue.
( Back to the drawing board on that one)
AND
I've gotta figgure out what the diff is between this 89 Auto chip ( NON CA )
Part # 128982 and the correct 88 Auto chip
Part # 158331...
And it starts SMOOTH... before it would crank 10 times before she would light.. now it seems like 3-4...
Last week, I disconnected my Cold start valve @ the sensor.
When this was hooked up It took 15-20 cranks before she would light and would BELCH a waft of premimum fumes out the back... ( Ah the joys of remote start ).
SO THANKS EAGLE...... You DA MAN!
( I dropped the check in the mail this morning)
