The best location for the MSD is no location for the MSD

I had 3 MSD Digital 6 plus's fail on me on my 93 vert.

Yes it was installed correctly. Im not the only person here whos had this happen.

I believe red-y has also had this happen to him.

Sami, thanks I really appreciate it. You can reach me at: stevenbailey@***.net

Tried to send you an email via your profile but I got a message saying you do not allow emails.

Riflecoach, Doug, LD85 thanks very much for the pics! You gave me an idea. I'll probably put my nitrous controller by the AC blower and the msd box near one of the headlights. Gonna compare your picks and Sami's and see what i like.

Thanks again. I'm so lucky to have found this board. You guys are a big help.

Well, after reviewing the pictures, I decided to put the MSD box as pictured below. I may still use the space by the blower to position my nitrous controller. Thanks again everyone who helped.
