So I have installed a 4L70E behind my new HT383 (cruise and connect package) and I am at the point of installing the harness to the trans. Truck is a '69 K10.

Main question at this point is where to put the controller.

The easiest place would be on the passenger fender (controller is waterproof) BUT then main harness wiring must get to the transmission hook-up spot along the area where the passenger side header collector is gonna be and thats gonna be hot. And there is excess wiring on this harness that is not needed for my application and I'd have to deal with that under the hood.

The benefits for on the passenger fender are: ease of installation and no new holes in firewall, drawbacks are: routing harness near exhaust and clutter under the hood.

A better place for the controller would be in the cab. I'm planning on building a "controller panel" behind the glove box door anyway because I have fan controller to mount and this one. The unused sections of harness could be tucked-up behind this mounting plate and there would be no under-hood clutter. The downside of this position is that I need to get main harness cluster out of cab and to transmission.

I was thinking I could run the harness out of the cab through a new hole in the trans tunnel, then seal it up as well as possible with dynamat and then convering that with the vinyl floor I all ready use. This would put the harness right over the trans for easy hook-up.

Sorry if this is too long but looking for any input or experience with mounting a transmission controller, thanks
