I just picked up my MSD Digital 6+ and sent out a check to a forum member for a plug and play harness.
Now my question is.... Where the heck can I put this thing?
Where have you guys put yours? Any pics if you have them would be cool too.

I used to mount my Digital 6+ box on the driver side tire wall and I use a zip bag and rubber band tight it to the wires that way water don't get into the dials. I know MSD say it is water proof but I just don't feel comfortable to expose it to water.

Mine is mounted on a small custom bracket over where you fill the windshield washer fluid.

Not on an LT1. Mine is mounted up front where the AIR pump used to be. There should also be room for it underneath the radiator overflow on the passenger side.

That's where I was thinking about putting it (where the air pump was) but I do drive in the rain every now and then and when you wash it that area gets wet. Can these things handle getting wet like that?

I've been running mine in the same location for nearly 3 years and the car is my daily driver. It get soaked every time it rains or I so much as wash the car. So I'd say it can handle it.

I mounted mine in the compartment behind the drivers seat and ran the wiring behind the rocker panel. You can't even tell its there..works perfect.
