mount location for computer and fuseblock
 

I would like to get some ideas of where you guys are putting your computer and fuseblock. Would you post up some pics please?

Mine is the stock harness and it is on the DS inner fender. But if I had my choice, I would like the PCM in the cab and the fuse block on the PS firewall or inner fender.

I have a re-worked harness, my fuse block is under the dash, I made a mount. My computer will be on the firewall behind the intake manifold.

Here is how I did mine. I wanted easy access. This is a daily driver. Not concerned about a "clean" engine compartment.

The fuse and relay box is a Texas highway patrol surplus from ebay. It had all the relays and plenty of fuses to hook everything up just like OE.

I just used the factory plastic bracket and bolted it to the LH fender.

Mine is being located on the DS inner fender well, up where the horn on my 66 is. I considered "tucking" them into the inner fender, but I feel the wiring is safer IN the engine bay rather than being exposed to the wheel opening.

Guys thanks a lot I appreciate this and the links to your build threads.

TR I don't know what you consider clean but I think that looks pretty clean myself.

Clyde did you take any pics of your engine bay. I'm doing the stock harness rework myself, but I picked up a current performance fuse block to adapt.

yes, here ya go, now ya know what "not clean" is, right? this really doesnt show much, the computer was mounted with a stock tray and then bolted to the inner fender with rubber bushings for shock prevention or lessening rather.

oh man clyde take it down it's awful!!! :lol: dude that looks great I can't believe you're not happy with it.

Re: mount location for computer and fuseblock
 

I didnt have the time to "clean" it up when I had the old motor out. I would like to take the front sheet metal off and powdercoat the inner fenders and core support, and pain the firewall. but 1 thing at a time, and I dont have space for the job.

I'm going to mount my PCm in the engine bay. Probably on the driver side fender. I'm just worried about water and mud, but i guess it comes like that factory :shrug:

Re: mount location for computer and fuseblock
 

Thats basically how I have mine. Water and mud shouldn't be much of a problem unless your off roading the thing. The PCM itself wouldn't care about the elements, as the the connections have the bolt-on water tight seal. Just make sure you isolate it (i used silicon pads) a bit from vibration.
