Default MSD Box Question

Where have you guys mounted the box. I have a 1992 LT1, and I have no clue where in that engine compartment to put it. Any pictures would really help, but ideas and experience is very welcome.

Thanks

I mounted mine under the pass seat after extending the wires. Easy to acess the removable chips by popping out the seat cusion.

Not the clearest pic I could find ( and its an L98 ) but this is where I put mine I gues you would also have enough space in your car to fit it drivers side front wheelarch ( bottom left of pic ) ........ hope this helps

I use a Mallory box, but I think this applies.

I put mine where yours is adi4 and rain killed it. The headlight drips right on it. I ended up moving mine to the storage tub behind the passenger seat, after Mallory repaired it.

Thats the same place I put mine in my 92. Of course I had already removed the AIR pump.

I moved mine to the right side similar to ADI4 - just make sure you check the mounting screws don't come to far forward or they may show up to close to the front of your bumper.
