      put it behind your PCM.. That's where I moved mine..

      But I'm confused by your pic, is it in a different location prior to 98? Mine was on the pass inner fender..

        Remove it and replace the cable with GM pn 12550676. It fit perfect on my 97 Z28.
        If you have cruise control and want to keep it you will have to replace the cruise control cable with GM pn 12552516 if you can locate one. GM has dicontinude the cruise control cable.

            Anytime. Hope to see you at some of the local car shows this spring and summer. EVI will be having a show every month starting in May at both locations.

                Not to jack, but how often did you come down to the davison show? I help out down there and dont remember seeing your car? The camaro or the jeep is usually parked on the hill next to the tent and SOS. I have a davison car cruise shirt on, should come down and chat this year!

                      Cleaning up the engine bay.. I really don't mind the tc but it looks sooooo gay sitting on top of the valve cover.

                        Yes 94 up to 97 with out NW9 (traction control) will work. The official usage for GM part number is 94 thru 96. Gm has a different part number for 97 which was dicontinude a few years ago. I know for a fact that pn 12550676 will work with no problem on a 97. That is what I used. Mine came from Al Sera at around $30.
                        We will be at the Davison show this year also. Look for my 97 30th Anv Z28. It is going to a busy year.

                          Cleans up the engine bay, weight reduction, access to valve cover, fewer moving parts, frees up a switch for other possible uses such as line lock and most of all you don't have to turn off traction control everytime you start the car (nothing worse than pulling up to line and trying to do a burnout and finding out that you did not turn traction control off).

                            hahahah so true.. my first race at the strip i was all messed up.. i sat in the staging lane for like 10 min, so then when he told me to pull up and do my burnout, i forgot to turn that stupid traction control off.. so that was horrible, and to make things worse i was about 3/4 the way down and i saw my brake light on?? i forgot to take my stupid ebrake off too! i was all sorts of nervous lol... and it showed a whopping 14.4 lmao!! but thanks for the advice and i will probably go get one from Al Sera's today or next week..
