Default Computer and fuse box location

Would love to see where you guys have mounted everything.
What did you use for fuse box? Pictures would be great…

Really would love to see in 1st gen Camaro, but anycar will work...

Thanks

A small engine only fuse panel is integrated into the harness for the computer. The glove box has been removed temporarily, but the blower motor and HVAC crap is gone. The holes you see are in the firewall. Car is a 1996 Nissan 240SX.



Stock fuse box I moved from the engine bay to the trunk.

That's pretty clean nichol's, I thought about moving my fuse panel to the back also. But I think theres enough room up front for the fuse panel and the ecm. (68 Camaro)

85 El Camino. I mounted the fusebox and computer on the drivers inner fender. The fuse box is from a mid 90`s V6 f-body.

i pretty much did the same as cnichols, except i still have the hvac stuff under the dash. i cut the glovebox out to make it just a latched cover and mounted the computer behind it along with the engine fusebox and relays. my chassis fusebox is still up in the engine bay, just moved from the stock location to the very corner out of the way of the exhaust of the LS1.

'68 Camaro here. Right now I have the PCM mounted on the right fenderwell, and fuses and relays mounted on the top right of the firewall. Eventually I'll redo it and hide the PCM somewhere, maybe under one of the front seats. I actually use my glovebox, and I'm planning on consuming most of the under-dash space with a VintageAir system.
