alright, what i'm planning on doing is using a 93-95 F-body engine and tranny with a W-body ECM of around the same year and putting it in a '72 opel manta.
i finally started on the wiring diagram that i want to complete before i even start work on the car, i found a real nice complete diagram for the exact year and model of my car, opened it up in mspaint and got to work. first i deleted anything engine related that wouldn't be going into the new wiring system. then i drew up some new symbols for the 3.4L sensors. then i got to thinking, since at this time of year i pretty much just install remote starters for a living, and most newer cars that aren't a POS will have a chip in the key to stop theft and such. so my question is, do those years of the F-body and W-body use this? and if only one does, and not the other, then will this present problems when mixing the different engine and ECM? i'm sure if they do use it, i can just bypass it with a bit of tricky wiring, but i'd rather find out what i'm dealing with first.
thanks all
