Where to place my ecm?

[joegreen]

Hello, I think that I have asked this question before but I cannot find where I posted it. Anyway school is over and now starts the install of my new wiring harness I bought. The thing holding me up is that I cannot find a place to put my ecm. Has anyone ever put it in the engine bay. Its kind of crowded behind the dash with the heating ducts and the glove box. The truck is a 1978 chevrolet k20. Thanks

They came from the factory behind the glovebox and there should still be room there (you might even be able to use a factory mount). I wouldn't put it in the engine compartment, it needs to stay dry and away from engine heat.

I think I found a spot to put it which is right above the ash tray. Now i need to find a way to mount it isolated from ground.

Does anyone want to buy my old harness? Is it worth anything? ill post up some pics in the forsale section once i pull it out. The truck did run with the old harness its just pretty old and somewhat stiff.

well today i started putting in my new harness and i decided that i am going to mount the ecm under the seat. The harness is the perfect length to go from the firewall to under the seat in one straight line.

So I am looking for a spacer that way i can put the cover on my ecm with my zif installed. A while back someone posted in a thread saying they made some spacers. I cant find where that was said. I am looking for whoever made them. I am interested in purchasing one.
