Mine is in the storage compartment behind my driver seat.. That's where all my nitrous relays are located as well. Plenty of room, and away from engine heat.

Well you may or may not be able to do it where I did, I'm just not sure about the 84. My 92 has the electric AIR pump mounted up front under the driver's side headlight. I removed that a long time ago when I installed the headers so that left me room to install the MSD.

Mine is also in the storage compartment behind the drivers seat. I made a harness with weatherpak connectors and tucked it neatly behind the rocker panel and up to a small painless wiring ATO fuse block near the battery. You can't even tell anythings been changed looks totally factory.

Re: MSD Again????? (eguyett1985)
Look in tech tips. I posted a tip on how to make a mounting bracket to put your MSD in the passenger side headlight area. It's pretty easy, and costs about $3 for materials. If you have problems, email me.

Re: MSD Again????? (oldace84)
I put my box under the driver's side headlamp of my '85. You could also put it under the passenger side, but the driver's side is easier for wiring. I have the MSD from TPIS, and it came with the harness that made wiring super easy. I will tell you that I am not using the rubber mounts, because of height limitations under the headlamp. But it has been over 4 months since install, and not one problem - she runs great, the MSD was a great addition. :seeya

Re: (scorp508)
Same as Scorp508 is where I mounted my msd 6a.
I know of a "tuner" who rec. mounting it on top of the battery with the supplied double sided tape.

Re: (Speedracer176)
Well, I'm not sure how the '84 compares to the '92, but I put mine under the passenger headlight. My brother-in-law built a custom brace for it to sit on. Here's a pic of it...
