Has anyone ever seen a spark control computer like this one? Usually the ESA/ELB computers were mounted on the side of the air cleaner, but in my '81 Gran Fury police car the computer is mounted under the dash on the driver's side near the parking brake. It seems like a really good idea, getting it out of the engine bay and into the air-conditioned, protected interior. Never seen another one like it though, which is odd seeing as it is a drastic improvement. The computer actually still works and the car runs happily using it to trigger the coil, though the timing advance is broken since the throttle feedback module on the thermoquad is long gone. I checked for the part number in my 1981 parts manual and the closest number is for cars with the E48 318 4bbl engine which mine has, so the mopar part number is likely 4145944. I read about this possibly being a feature on cop cars, but running down interchanges with the number in the manual it looks like it may have been used on Cordobas until about '82. I have no clue what else this computer does, I assume it's like the normal N94 ESA module but if it's a police-only feature maybe it has a different timing curve in it for chasing bad guys or something, who knows
