I am installing A Accel Ignition System the box is a laser2.
The disturbitor has no vacuum advance, is this done through the box?

I'm not familiar with this Accel system, but unless there's some vacuum hose connection between the manifold and your ignition box, I would assume there's no load dependent advance curve in your system. However, let me know the details of your system if I am assuming incorrectly.

If the box is similar in size to an MSD6A, I installed mine behind the passenger side of the dash in my '69. It's invisible there and shielded from engine heat.

You just have to drill a small hole through the firewall to pass the wires through...make sure you install a grommet in the hole.
