Re: Project No-buck!
So I've been thinking. I need a place to mount the ECM. I tried bought a large tupperware to use to mount in the engine compartment. It wasn't big enough to reasonablly fit, and , I mean, its a tupperware.
The other problem is the A/C. I got the whole underdash unit out. It mounts to the fire wall with several bolts and nuts. When I pull out the factory 69 heater, I'll have the holes to fill, and then would have to locate the new mounting holes and refrigerant/coolant line holes too. So what I came up with is this: cut out the whole passenger side firewall from the donor truck and graft that into the 69's cab. Then I'll have all of the holes in the right location, the right contour so the unit will fit, the ECM wiring goes through a hole in the firewall and mounts on top of the A/C unit. Kinda solves 2 or 3 problems at the same time. The one problem with is, it means that the truck will be out of commission a little longer than I originally planned while I do the firewall work. |
