If the connector isn't under the dash, then it's probably in the center console, under the ashtray, like the '82 models.
Not sure what all you'll be able to get tho....the '81 really doesn't have much computer action...just idle mixture, and timing...

The 81 has no connector. You just look at the flashing lights. That will give you the number of the trouble code!! Flashing 4 times, then once means a code of 41!
