Default Re: Which Code Scanner ?

What code scanner for the computer will work on a 81 vette?
Maybe an OBD1?

There was an aftermarked code reader built for these types of computers. unfortunately, the name escapes me right now. Senility sucks.

Regardless, i'm not sure that the readers do anything that you can't do by jumping the port under the ashtray and simply counting flashes on the computer light.
