MSD Ignition Install
Has anyone ever put the MSD 6AL up under the dash on the passenger side of a '69 427/435?
I am concerned about heat. I put foil insulation down before my new carpeting which seems to help quite a bit. I've driven on really hot days in the summer and it's not bad.
I'm trying to keep a "clean classic look" under the hood but don't want to mess the module up.
Thanks

Thats where I installed my MSD box. I've even got it positioned more outboard and up towards the fender top. You have to look hard to see it. Plus it gets the cooling from the fender vent. About 8 years now with many miles. No problems.

Put mine there also. You can make your own brackets relatively easy.

I like the look too:
Notice how the MSD box disappears
