Default Where's the harness come through........

I have the computer and harness for my 68, where did you guys with 1st Gen's mount the ECM and where did you run the harness through the firewall, I have the stock hole where the A/C harness runs through, I'm going to look into that, but I want to install the motor before I pick a spot, thanks Steve

I ran mine through just above the stock heater, you can see in this pic:

I already had my motor installed when we did this, and if you wanted to run it through lower I think the main harness would have to be extended. We made some brackets and mounted the PCM under the dash.

Rybar,
What did you use as a grommet between the firewall and the wire harness?

Used a grommet found in a wrecking yard. I beleive it was out of an Audi or VW car. The hole drilled is about 2" to fit the PCM plugs through.
