For those of you that have converted to EFI, where did you wount the computer? Any pictures? I have a bracket I made up but before I drill holes to mount it I want to see what else you guys have done.
Thanks,
Eric

I dont have EFI, but you want to have ventilation and protect from water.
Ive seen them under the dash, in the glove box, and the firewall.

The bracket I made would mount the computer along the firewall in the passenger side footwell behind the glovebox. I think it will clear the heater box if I ever get around to putting it back in the car.
Everything I have read talks about mounting it up behind the glove box. However there aren't any really flat surfaces to mount to and I would like to keep the glovebox and kick panel speaker if possible.
If I don't hear any better ideas by tonight I will mountg it an post pics.

I looked for that last night when I was looking for ideas before I made my bracket. I had remembered seeing it but couldn't find it yesterday. Do you have the link or did anybody save a pic?

His newer online store SUCKS! The old setup was easier to find things on. If you use the "search" function you can find many more parts than he has categorized. However no combination of search variables I tried produced the bracket I remember seeing.

That is the bracket I remember, Thanks. Between your description and the picture it makes a whole lot more sense. So the computer lays flat or horizontal along the bottom of the cowl area?

That is a good idea. If this bracket doesn't work out the way I think It will I may go your route.
Saw pictures of an install like this
The guy made a sheet metal 3 sided box. He mounted something else in there as well, but I can't remember what that was. Maybe the inertia switch. Anyway, he removed the fender, cut the original panel, and welded in the box. It was beautifully done. Looked like it came from the factory that way.
Looked so nice, it was almost a shame to put the fender and kick panel back on. I am going to "borrow" his idea when I do mine.
