Do the shop manuals tell which pins are the "appropriate" pins?
Also, my 1977 Pontiac Grand Safari has a couple of suspicious looking
wire harnesses under the hood.  (One is near the air-conditioner btw.)
I didn't know that they had the diagnostic computers in cars back then.
Does anyone have any info or ways to get info on this?  I'd like to
capitalize on this if possible.
