Yeah I think I found 2 yellow ones today but the dang panels were still
covering the place for the ecm on the Z28 Camaro's.  Ants were running
around so I left the door open so they would get flooded out in the next
rain and then I could see if I could grab the connectors.  Basically I need
to see if any other cars would have these so I can make the cable this week
before all the parts show up Friday.

The ECM's are already out on most of the cars but the Camaro is all screwed
together still so maybe they didn't know how to get it off.  They seem kinda
clueless.

They only had one ECM from a 86 Olds 98 I think and it didn't have a
connection for the third (yellow) connector so I wasn't sure if it was
exactly what I need since I hadn't got the wires to plug into it and the car
had already been smashed.
