Where did you guys mount your PCM?

I would prefer to have it out of sight.

Initially i was going to remove the glovebox and mount it there. I keep thinking if i ever go to put in an underdash ac system it would probably be in the way. (not sure it will ever get AC realistically).

The other spot i was considering was under the drivers side fender, behind the wheel well, i do not think there is room on the passenger side with the blower motor there.

Any input is appreciated.

I put mine under the pasenger fender on the firewall, but I also used an F body engine and harness so that kind of dictated where it could go. Also don't have a blower motor there anymore since I'm running Vintage Air. The drivers side would work if your harness is long enough.

That is where i am leaning. I googled it and it seems a popular spot.

I put mine under the dash right behind the Ash Tray.. not sure if it would get in the way of any aftermarket AC unit.. or an OEM one as my Nova doesn't have AC (Radio/Heater Car only).
I made a sheet metal mount to attach to the plastic OEM F-Body PCM Mount. It attaches to the area of the dash under the Ash Tray and then attaches to a upper loaction inside the dash. There is a lip and provision for the upper / middle Vents (mine doesn't use it and the dash is covering it up). I know my 69 Camaro also had the same opening for the AC/Vent.
If you take the top Dash off, you will can see it. . I only had to modify the Glove box corner about 3/4".

It is documented in my Build Thread (follow the link in my sig). But here are some pictures.

Mine is where you were thinking of putting it. With a truck harness like i have it fit perfect in the driver fender behind the wheel well. Built the brackets out of angle iron and bolted it up. Its perfect placement for the TAC too. If you have DBW.

driver's fender. I'm fairly confident that BC's setup would not work with a VA suitcase.

I tried two spots: next to the radiator on the core support and firewall under the driver's fender. I settled on firewall to keep it hidden.







I used rivetnuts and vibration isolation studs

Love the MSD isolators

Those vibration isolators came from Grainger. I got them there because they had them in stock locally. You can also get them through McMaster and other hardware suppliers for less depending on shipping and what else you're buying.

Thank you for the input fellas.

I pulled the left side inner fenderwell tonight. I think its a perfect spot for it. I made a cardboard template for the PCM. Hopefully have it mounted this weekend and start on re-doing my GTO wiring harness.
