Yorke" Date: Sat, 30 Nov 96 12:39:45 PST Subject: Re: FORSALE: Engine Management System, Haltech E6 Jeremy: I might be interested in the unit; what's your price in USA bucks? My only problem with the Haltech, is figuring out how to allow the use of the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC )signal, which changes the pitch of the converter to provide a little better mileage. About a year and a half ago I ordered an E6 from Haltech (In Texas, I think) and their chief engineer (Think his name was Shane) kept putting me off month after month; kept telling me he was having trouble in figuring out what had to be done....I finally gave up on 'em.
