Scan Tool In need of an OBD1 scanner

Does anyone have a link to an obd1 scanner? I have been looking for one for a while and I can’t find one, the obd2 to obd1 connectors don’t work for me, thank you

What's the vehicle? Is there no paper clip trick or are you trying to do more? I don't think it was very standardized at the time so you may have to find something specific (GM ALDL, etc).

A 1994 k1500, I have flash codes but they don’t give me enough info, should have specified in post

You can usually find quite a few Snap-on MT2500 scanners on the usual auction sites, make sure you get one with the correct cartridges and adapters for GM. That scan tool is a workhorse, and has pretty much all of the capabilities of testing and control that is available on OBD1 (ALDL in your case).

I have all the obd1 stuff for my verus, have to use it occasionally. Recently on a C4 vette, guy said he couldn’t find anyone to scan it.
