Chris,
If you come up with anything I'd be interested in a few myself.
Thanks
Neal

I do and will prolly be ordering hundreds and hundreds inthe near future. Contact me at Scott231@Juno.com for details.

Yes, but unfortunately after they were acquired by 3M it appears they no longer make them. I've got a P/N but I am unable to find any for sale in quantities less than about 500 or so. If anyone knows a good source, please speak up
I doubt you'll find any company willing to sell them in any smaller quantities than that these days.
I had to buy a 500 batch from RN, and that was several years ago.
Zif socket
Has any one ever thought of putting in a socket that allows you to change chips in about 3 seconds NO more holders that you can't buy....have had a socket in my car for more than a year with "zero" problems, my girl friend can even change chips at a stop light for me in no time flat,,,,simple to put in,,,down side is that you have to leave the small cover plate off because there is a slight added heigth, besides I took my plate off years ago when I started to make my own chips, the ECM can go back into the kick panel with no bulge. The only concern that I had when putting the holder in was the fact that the new holder has round pins and seemed that it might fit a bit loose so what I did was cut down an old broken 2732a holder that I had and used the pieces that go into the original ECM socket to act as a wedge just like the original holder did,,,,has been working perfectly ever since did not even use any type of glue to hold it in.

What I did was buy the adapter from Casper's that lets me put the PROM still in its carrier into my programmer. I have 6 carriers I rotate in and out as I make new chips. The carrier doesn't cover the window so I chuck the carrier right into my eraser, no bending pins.
Scott231 do you have a price and are you willing to sell?

First, does anyone have a P/N for a ZIF socket that fits these ECM's? I got one that was for a TBI truck that uses the same carriers but apparently uses a different socket since the pins dont line up from the socket to the board.
Next, if such a carrier/socket exists from Caspers, does anyone have a P/N price?

Casper's carries both the RN sockets and the chip carriers, both available from stock. The early ECMs were drilled for a .6 lead spacing, but the later ECMs had an odd 12 mm lead spacing, making it difficult to install a ZIF socket. This was common on the 1227148 ECMs. We have the the .6 LS carrier sockets which can be installed with a bit of "tweaking" of the leads.
