moving my computer.....
Monday, July 17, 2006 12:46 PM
Ok so there is the little electrical board and wires on the upper left side of my engine... im not sure what exactly it is but i know its some sort of computer device. I was wondering if i could just move it and put it inside the car or someplace else? I no people have done this before i was just wondering how and is it difficult?
This is the image (as you can see on the left upper area of the engine... there is that gray little box. ((just to the right of the shox where a strut bar would be mounted)) Ok if you can help me i would appreciate it)

doh!!


well this is my third j-body and the only one i want to move it on. it sometimes gets in the way of a strut tower bar. i did move it to the next bolt up, and it was fine till i got a new hood then it rubbed my power steering reservoir and loosened the cap a bit.

i did met a guy this past weekend at a meet that mounted it over by the battery, that may be next for me.
