[Spridgets] OBD I........... where can I find one?

[Rick Fisk]

I beg to differ - I currently own two pre-96 GM vehicles that have an OBD 
port under the dash.  The port is actually called the ALDL - Assembly Line 
Diagnostic Link.  I have used them to troubleshoot problems.   GM installed 
the port on vehicles as far back as 1982.

Actron makes a code reader for '82-'93 GM and Saturn vehicles - 
http://www.actron.com/product_detail.php?pid=16152.  '94-'95 vehicles may 
have a type of OBDII port - depends on the vehicle.  Anyways the port is 
there and with a little simple Google searching a bunch of information can 
be found on how to obtain and interpret the codes.
