I drilled a hole for mine about 1.5" above the wiring harness connections over the ECM. Make sure you use a heavy guage wire with an inline fuse next to the battery.

Another neat trick is to get teflon tubbing from an electronics supplier and run the wire through that first. It protects the wire from high heat and chaffing. It's really important in the engine compartment. Also put rubber grommets in the holes where it passes through the body.

You should go a guage size smaller (thicker wire) to allow for the longer wire resistance.

That should hold it for another 15 years.

You should have some rubber covered holes directly behind the ECM. Drill or cut a small hole in one of those and run the wire(s) through that. Just use some silicone to seal the hole.
