TBI, ECM Placement?
« on: July 24, 2011, 12:27:28 AM »
Can anybody help on where to put the ECM. I am doing a GM 4.3 TBI conversion and can't figure out where to put the ECM? :banghead: I wanted to put it where the original one was but it's to big.
Hope for the best,
Prepair for the worst.
It's allot easier,
when you know it's going to hurt.

A Lot. I want a hidden place. I wanted to know where others put theirs.

I put mine behind the carpet against the top of the floor pan with some heavy duty 3M velcro. Nobody knows its there and it was close to the hole from the old harness. I wired my check engine light to the factory emissions bulb in the cluster, and neatly tucked the ALDL connector behind the factory console around the shifter. Sorry it's an old thread but I just wanted to reply as I don't recall too many of us having TBI setups.
