Looking for pictures of how some of you mounted your computer. Its hard to find a plqce under the dash with the vintage air unit taking up almost all of the glove box space.i want it out of sight but accessible any input would be appreciated.

Do you have any pictures?

Put it in the heater box under the hood. You will need to get an fbody trans dipstick tho

It's a super crappy cell phone pic... but... anyway...

Clears the master cylinder, the washer bottle and the hood hinge... My brother's has been like this for over 2 years and hasn't had any issues.

another shot... hard to see exactly how it's mounted from this side though...

C10_ustacould · 01-29-2013, 11:10 PM

I put mine in the area where the glove box was located... and routed the harness through a hole in the fire-wall/trans-tunnel.

TopFuel1966 · 01-30-2013, 08:46 PM

Mine is mounted on the inside of the left corner of the firewall behind the dashboard. The photos are before and after the finish. It's hidden from view by an A/C vent.

mooseknuckles · 01-31-2013, 02:08 PM

behind glove box....psi leaves lots of wire....

SamMargritz00 · 01-31-2013, 05:28 PM

I bolted mine to a piece of aluminum and used rubber spacers between the aluminum and firewall. I have the vintage air as well.

rmvlt1100 · 01-31-2013, 10:19 PM

Here is where I put mine. It's under the dash below the glove box. The heater tube clears the wire harness ok. The picture makes it look like its tight to the wires but that was before I wrapped the wires.

Right now they are laying on top of the computer secured by a zip tie.

My plan is to fabricate a new shallow glove box insert to mount the fuse/relay panel, OBD II connector, and the control box for the electronic speedometer. Just need to get a day to work on it, when I get it done I will certainly post pics.

68fixeruper · 02-01-2013, 12:53 PM

Thank you i think i might just mount my computer on the firewall behind the motor and run the fuses and OBD II inside.

wow...you're not even trying...not sure why you'd need to access the pcm that easy?...but, whatever...I didn't want my engine bay looking like a bag of snakes...so the only wires you can see are the plug wires..

Indian113 · 02-01-2013, 05:59 PM

I'd like to clean up under the hood on my S10 but it's gonna have to warm up some before I can.

Indian113 · 02-01-2013, 06:00 PM

By the way Buck that harness I bought off of you works perfect from the git go. I can't thank you enough for your help! Ray
