Title: help me identify this part,
Post by: kcnaz on June 03, 2007, 04:54:49 PM
I am stripping engine and parts of a 1983 TC, transplanting motor and am having trouble finding computer.  I just need to retrive parts, get rid of car and figure the engine set-up later. .... One source says under the dash, I found this part to the right of the glove box.

where was that part located,, those additional pics are not needed as its not the eec.

Also, around the harness, is there a cable tag or ID of any sorts.
with that i can figure it out.

At best, just list all the wire colors for the green connector and i can look it up that way.

Computer is located:
Passanger kick panel. Pull it off and look u, it's right there. Held in by a little plastic holder thing and a ground wire I think.

The part I have pictured was on the passenger side, behind glove box against fender well, not the fire wall but the fender well, level with the AC ductwork..
