Default MSD location and 3 Step

Well I'm looking for some pics of installation of an MSD ignition box under the hood of C3 Corvette. Because I've located my line lock system on the left (drivers) front wheel well, I'm heading over to the opposite side with the MSD 6AL and the MSD 3 Step.

Somebody on here did a similar install and fabricated an aluminum mounting plate to shield away some header heat. I saw the pic some time ago but just can't seem to locate it now.

I'm planning to make such a plate as well and mount both boxes to the plate.

Thanks for any help you can pass along.

look toward the right, the aft side of the fenderwell. Bent a piece of aluminum into a shelf and mounted the box. The alumnum is mounted to the fenderwell.

Just the the right of the twostep...( behind the drivers side wheel well.)
It keeps the wires shorter, more room and less heat
