a 97 12 valve does not have a computer that controls the engine. You can't put any downloader on it because there is nothing to download it to. The engine is all contrlled by the injection pump. Whoever sold that to your father needs to have thier head examined. Do not go back their except to get your money back.

Yes a 12v you cannot put a downlader or chip or anything of that nature on it.

so guys does this mean theres no way to put any chip of any kinds..or just not a downloader?? if theres no chip of any kind to put on it i guess i should go with a tourque plate first??

12v's don't use downloaders or boxes to add power. You can add power to 12v's by simply adding injectors, grinding your plate, adjusting timing on the pump etc.
