Default Where to put a MSD 6AL??

Does anyone have a MSD 6AL box installed in a 78-82 corvette? If so where did you mount it and could you please post pics or send some pics to my e-mail White1979vette@netscape.net Or written advice would be ok too.

Mine's in the same place. It would be under your radiator overflow in a '79 I think. :smash:

I did the same as mine, but its on a 74, but i dont think it would be any different. I didnt even have to remove the overflow tank to install. The screws dont hit the tire either. I dremelled mine of after a while, but wasnt necessary.

Mine's mounted in the same place as the others-behind the passenger side wheel. The biggest difference I noticed was that the car starts immediately-as soon as the starter engages.
