    Simple question... how do you do it? When i disassembled my air box, I got to the back of it and notice a massive ammount of wires just chillin' there. I want the breather box gone completely. How do I do this and where do I store the wires?

    those wires are for your car's computer, which is commonly called the PCM.

    I dont remember if you have to unscrew those connectors to remove it or not, but there's a way to get the PCM out pretty easily.

    And as far as storing it, you can leave it laying on the fender/engine brace that's under the air box, or buy a tray for it to lock into.

    alright.. now that i know what that is i know what i can do. but another question. since those wires weren't exposed to anything seeing how they were protected by the air box, is it gonna hurt them to lay out in the open to grime and other stuff that might accumulate on them?

    nope.

    My PCM has been chilling there for about a year now, no issues. The PCM is water proofed and the connectors are as well. Maybe water resistant is a better word.

    And more familiar with carbs?
