Default MSD Ignition

Hello to all, Nubie to the forum here. I have a 1971 Coupe with stock 350 and factory air. I'm presently running with Pertronix ignition installed in the original distributior. I've recently purchased an MSD box to add to the setup. I'm presently at a loss as to where to put the box. If anyone on the forum has added MSD, where did you mount the box? Thanks to all. John

Do a search of the forum as there have been many threads of MSD locations with pictures.

Hmmm.... I figured that upside down meant with the bottom of the box facing the sky. I figured that mine was mounted sideways. I'll have to go back and look throught the manual again. Thanks for the heads up though.

I have an MSD mounted in my '69 behind the passenger side of the dash. The panel comes off easily and makes the MSD invisible, plus it's away from direct engine heat.
