Cali4nia Monte Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Possible dumb question but I am just curious why are you putting it in the glovebox instead of the engine compartment??   Jaylene   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 number one reason is heat, and this system is adjusted by connecting it to a computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
680HPStroker Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Sam that looks really cool. How about a matching tach and speedo in the stock location to go with the gages? I've thought about this, but the only reason I'm reluctant to is that it would make my interior no longer stock appearing. I think once I'm 100% sure I'll never sell that I'll completely customize my dash face from aluminum and fit it with the good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 I am looking into that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ADGTRUNKLID Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Were you going to get the AC to run from DC? Going to put a converter in for a silly pc fan? I am sure there are 12 volt fans out there; in fact I use to have a oscillating fan I plugged into the lighter for my Doberman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 most of those fans are actually DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest caddycarlo Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 not sure if I should start a new thread but would it not be better to mount the box in the engine compartment and run a extantion cable to the computer or mount under the dash rather than in a closed box ?

Sam (Bones) Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 heat is the major enemy of ign boxes...where is it hotter??? in the dash with vent holes and a fan sure beats under the hood with all the engine heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest caddycarlo Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 my box has been under the hood for 20 years in my 70 monte and I have never had any trouble with it ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
