ADS Super chip
The install was rather easy, and I'm glad I did it! As you may know, I have a fuel injected 350. So I can't say how good this chip would work in a carberated setup. Any way, here we go.
1. Be sure to disconnect your negative battery cable.
2. Locate your ECM. Mine was directly behind the glove box. The easiest way to get to the ECM, is to remove the glove box completely by removing the 3 screws on the bottom of the box. Once its out of the way, you'll see a small silver box, that's the ECM.
3. Undo the metal strap and remove the ECM, careful not to damage the wiring.
4. You'll see a small plate on one side with two screws holding it on. Remove the screws and you'll see the chip.
5. Remove carefully in order not to damage the tines on the unit. I used a small screw driver and rocked it back and forth till it popped loose.
6. Next take the ADS chip, line it up, and slide it in. Should go in with a little resistance.
7. Put the cap back on, secure the ECM back in, and put the glove box back on.
8. Reconnect your negative battery cable. Easy, huh?
When you reconnect you neg. cable, the ECM will reset and the chip will now work like its supposed to!
