Hints and tips?
Ok here goes. Mount it on top of the dash pad in plain view while driving. I like to place it as close to the Boost gauge as possible for ease of view when making a pass. Very crucial when tuning and watching for detonation. Velcro works well here. Also, you might want to get a cigarette power plug from your local Radio Shack to take care of the power and ground wires. This also facilitates easy R&R for tuning other cars, or your buddies Turbo Buick. If not cigarette plug, then power to an ignition port on the fuse box, this way, the SM always powers up when you hit the key. Ground wire can be mounted either to factory chassis ground points next to the fuse box, or to the stud that's near the fuse box light under the dash. The stud that has the nut on it for the under dash panel. I've always used that stud on every SM I've done in the past with good results. The wire for the ALDL connector takes either the really thin male connector, (also available from Radio Shack) or you can take a standard flat male connector and cut it in half for a tighter fit in the ALDL connector.
IMHO, the SM is the best money you can spend on the car to start with. Ranks right up there with the fuel system parts.
Anywho, hope some of this helps a little.
