where is the TI box (amp) on a 70 bolted and how many bolts secure it?? Also what, if any, differences between the amps, wiring etc. on the 67-70 boxes. Just so you know, I don't have an AIM yet. Thanks for any help/information you can provide.

Re: TI box on 70
If you really want to get picky there is a date ont he original boxes, but that is not judgeable on your 1970.Terry- Top

Re: TI box on 70
It is mounted where Joe L says. Three bolts hold it to the inner fender. Some of the earlier (C2) boxes have a connector on the box for the wires. Later (1968 > ) have a short pigtail set of wires leading to the connector. I am not sure where in the C2 era that change took place.

The amplifier with the "on-box" connector was used through 1968. The amplifier with the pigtail connector began for the 1969 model year and was used through 1971. Very late 1968 may have used the amplifier with the pigtail connector.In Appreciation of John Hinckley- Top

Re: TI box on 70
For C3s it was a part of the engine option on 435Hp (L71), 1970 & 1971 (but NOT 1972) LT1, and 1971 LS6. It was optional (as K66) in all but base engines in 1968 & 1969. So your LS5 would not have it.Terry- Top

Re: TI box on 70
by "on box" connector, you mean the one that like a big plug boot that slips over the rubber connector on box and the other for 68 on is the one with just wires coming out, right?? thanksMichael

Re: TI box on 70
The "on-box" connector is, essentially, a female plug mounted right on the amplifier housing. The later style used a pigtail from the amplifier with the female plug on the end of the pigtail.In Appreciation of John Hinckley- Top

Re: TI box on 70
Here is a picture of the driver's side wheel well on a '69 where you can see the three bolts popping through that hold the amplifier in place. I do believe the location, which is not exact at the factory, is the same for 1970.
And a snapshot of the AIM:

Re: TI box on 70
Hi Peter and Michael,
Peter's picture made me take a look at my 71.
I see 2 distinct dimples (positioned it appears for the 2 lower fasteners) on the forward side of the apron. Nothing is visible from the wheel side of the apron.
They are however positioned on the other side of the headlight header support bracket than those shown in your picture Peter. I'd describe them as between the little 2 bolt bracket for the header and the core support.
So it seems the dimples carried on after 70.

Re: TI box on 70
Hi Alan,
That's a tough area to describe, but I think even tougher to get a picture of. I think I've captured it (albeit w/ a grainy cell phone picture).
The dimples are approximately 4" apart, whereas the bottom two bolts on my amplifier are 2 3/4" apart. I don't think those dimples were for the amplifier.
EDIT: The top bolt and bottom right bolt (in my first picture of the wheel well) are 4" apart. Perhaps it is a matter of the orientation? How were they mounted/oriented on '68s with the plug that Joe described?- Top
