LT1 Computer Location

I am trying to figure out the easiest place to put the computer. I see a few people talking about mounting past the firewall. Where are common locations with a stock wiring harness?

Thanks,
Gus

Make a mounting plate and attach it on top of the strut mount. Easiest place I've seen. Or lengthen the harness and put it where it normally goes.....

I'm not using the stock harness so not sure where that would go.. I am putting my puter tucked up under the drivers side cowl next to the brake booster.
