I need a place to mount my MSD Box
I bought a MSD6AL box and I`m looking for good safe place to install it. At this point I`ll listen to all options. Thanks

I installed mine in front of the overflow bucket for the radiator. There it was in cooler air, and dont forget to bypass the tach filter so your tach works.

Lots of places
I have mine in the passenger side under the dash so I can change the rev limited chip easily and get to the timing retard box.

Left fender right in front of the battery, mounted vertical w/ stainless screws to the plastic inner fender. Wiring then can go right up to the distributor.

I had my first box in front of the overflow tank. It must have gotten wet and it burned out. Can it get wet?

It's not a sealed box, and the rubber feet aren't just for vibration - they keep it elevated for air movement and out of puddles
