Default OBD1 Data Cable

86 L98.... Which OBD1 cable do I need to hook up to my laptop, I have a USB port on the laptop and I down loaded Tuner Pro. Is the cable the only thing I need or will there be something else?
I saw on the ALDL cable website that there were 2 different cables depending on which pin was transmitting data. Which Pin transmits the data M? E? or D? 1986 L98

It takes a few clicks/minutes, but that website does tell you. Also, Moates sells a switchable cable you can use.

Other required items depend on your need/goal.

Yes, but you will have to download the Winaldi free shareware software and properly install it on your computer.
