planned to ignore the timing leads for now...
confused as always

Special adaptor maybe? I had to buy a 3 to 5 pin connector for my Z06 MAF.

So there is no Buick Translator per se.
There is a LS-1 translator with a Buick adapter # 050BUICKADAPT

Newer Translator Plus info is included in the latest Translator Manual.

$24.00 for an adapter that should not even be needed.
We really are cash cows for these guys....

Hey Cash cow, for the record, when the translator Plus was sold new (which has been about 10 years) that adapter was included in the package, that way it could be used on the LS and L67 cars too. The regular Buick translator does not need one.

Called out by Mike Licht on our little obscure message board - wow :)
I'll take it like a man :)
So I should be annoyed with guy that flogged it on me incomplete- fair enough.
I must fairly say that with Bob's products we DO see a continuous re-investment via good new solutions.
Thanks for doing the Chicago thing and thanks for your gentlemanly behaviour in the Q&A.

People are gona think they logged into turbobuicks.co m by mistake.
Maybe I'll keep making incendiary remarks if it keeps Mike visiting us :)

EDIT: SO clearly He's pi**ed at me, plz somone else WELCOME him to the Forum....

I did a Caspers order for Dave and I. Just wait till he finds out what the shipping was for that Translator adaptor.

I THINK John still likes me....

I'd like to throw out a GIANT welcome to a great vendor (and possible sponsor, hint, hint).
Welcome Mike Licht to the board!
I cant say I have purchased monster amounts but I can say he gets my business first, then if he doesn't have it I go to the next one.
Full Throttle Speed RULES! fer reals.
-
Wow... for once it isn't me poking people. But, yes 24 bucks is pretty pricey... shoulda just gone MAF-less. But, even the MAFT Pro support is dead since Bob moved onto other projects.
It makes the most sense to stay as close to stock as possible, keeps things from snowballing.
-
send me some sponsor info, nice to see some old screen names. No harm meant just like to keep things straight. We do still support the Pro still but the SD2 chip that Bob and Eric work on seems to have replaced that item on Buicks. We still do lots of them for the import crowd. See you around, I will stop in, if you have questions let me know.

No info to send.. You're in.
