Getting ready to paint my car and want to hide my box it’s in a 70 so the spot is taken where the overflow canister is any thoughts I already have a 8 foot extension

I installed mine under the passenger side dash along with the Dakota Digital boxes. Worked great since I removed the heater box

 

That’s a good spot behind the gills

 

Since my 1968 C3 did not come with the aluminum overflow tank on the passengers side I chose to put my MSD 6AL below the fender bolted to the wheel well using the expanding rubber nuts. It doesn't get too hot in the engine compartment but still hotter than I would like, most electronics prefer to not be super hot and will probably last longer if kept cooler.

Another place to hide it would be where the factory T.I. System gets installed. On my C3 it is under the nose near the drivers side fender. I have the factory T.I. System on my corvette even though it is temporarily disconnected.

I try not to be a fatalist but when I put stuff under my hood I imagine what would happen in a (any) bad front end crash. The LAST thing I want is a battery being shorted out under the hood near all the flammable stuff. I have a 200 amp Marine Circuit breaker right near the battery so in theory I have some protection. I just don't want to see my Corvette go up in flames after a minor hit to the front causing something to short.

On the 1968 there is lots of room under the right side lower dash cover. I have a new marine fuse block there with heavy connections to the battery directly through the circuit breaker. Since I have a Stealth Sniper EFI system, MSD Ignition, dual electric fans with electronic fan controller I really need to be careful to not make any noise to be picked up by the EFI controller All the wiring comes to my secondary fuse block. From there the wiring to the individual components I ran the wires away from any existing wiring and it worked out great.

 

my 68 has the MSD box in behind the passenger dash pad as well..

 

On my 70,I have mine mounted on the bracket that the windshield washer bottle was mounted on.

 

I would like to keep the windshield bottle in place

 

Mine is mounted in front of the radiator.

In my brothers 68 it is mounted on the drivers side inner fender. Built a bracket and mounted the box to the bracket and bolted it through from there. It’s a newer 6AL that uses the sealed connector.

 

My MSD box is mounted where the charcoal canister used to reside.

 

I put mine in the windshield wiper tray, trough, channel etc. 20 years ago. Far as I know it's still there

 

Didn't feel the need to hide it.

 

On my 70 L46 I mounted on the front horseshoe bracket that supports the center bumper. Plenty of fresh air. And up out of the way

 

clean and organized engine bay. I need that.
