Default PCM Mounting Photos

I'm trying to get some ideas to mount my PCM. In order to fit my application, it needs to mount on its edge, rather than in the horizontal position. I actually don't know what the stock Fbody or S10 mount looks like, so if someone has a photo of these that would help too.

Thanks,

Andy1

What vehicle is this going into? That wouild help narrow the possibilities.

In my 68 Cutass (GM A Body) I used the plastic PCM holder from the 2002 TA donor car. I cut some off to get it as small as possible. I mounted this behind the gloove box. Screws up from end of plastic up thru cowell hold in place. Nuts would be visible when looking down thru cowell screen only with hood open. I had Speartech add enough wire to mount here. With stock harness I doubt this would work.

PCM is not easily visible and all wring is tucked up under the dash. PM me if you want pics.

I rerouted my wiring harness after unwrapping it and relaying it out to get where I wanted.

For the PCM it is behind the firewall on top of the Trans tunnel with a small console hiding it with some idiot lights and gauges. I just used a 3/4" x 1/8" strap of metal and attached it to the PCM plastic mount, and then using the strap in a U shape to bolt to the trans tunnel. I cut off any plastic that was not needed.

This is how mine is secured to the inside of the right kick panel area. I had to make sure a bit of air could flow around it......don't want it to build up too much heat in a confined area.

Mine is mounted inside the driver side fender. It is in an S-10 bracket. On top of it is a bracket I made to hold the TAC module for my electronic throttle. I have a sheild to deflect road debris and water, though I am told they are pretty water proof.
