I cut a hole big enough to slide the pcm connectors through.
But there is no grommet big enough (that I can find) to seal it up.

Did you make some kind of 2-piece cover plate to go over the hole?

Fill it with putty?

Some other solution?


(it took a pretty good size hole to get a pcm connector (and the wire bundle on top of the connector) to go through)

Maybe everybody else just pushed all the small stuff through from the inside of the car, instead of pushing the big stuff through from the engine bay side...?

PCM will probably be on the hump, behind the dash where the radio used to be. I still have the heater part of the hvac. The pcm will be in the path of the heat, if I put it on the hump, but it won't be any hotter than it was under the hood... It will fit under the cowl (on the inside of the car) where the fresh air intake fed the hvac blower. There would still be about an inch of open space left above the blower intake. It's more out of the way there, but harder to reach when the dash and glove compartment are back in place.

I'm still toying with a couple of ideas on the UEC.

Most likely the lightweight battery will be in the low spot where the passenger back seat used to be. Then the UEC will end up in the console, with a short hot cable to it, and some longer medium gauge wires from it to the dash fuseblock and ignition switch on the column. Or the UEC will end up under the dash somewhere, with a longer hot cable to it (which will be needed anyway if/when I install an outside cutoff switch) and then shorter hot wires running from it to the dash fuseblock and switch.
