Where did you mount your ignition box?
 
I got a full MSD ignition setup for my '72. I tried to picture where I would put a MSD 6AL but with the motor out it was kind of hard to think in my head where it might fit. Where do you guys have your ignition boxes mounted? I'm looking for ideas. Pics always appreciated!!

Do a Forum search as there was a thread a couple months back and there were lots of installation pictures.

Here's one of them, but there were many more.

I put mind ahead of the expansion tank on the RH inner fender upside down (rpm pill up). I had to lenghten the wiring to reach the distributor.

Drivers side, under the vacuum tank.
It's that red thing behind the breather..

Mine is over there on the drivers side firewall. It's a 63 though. Don't know if you got a space over there for it. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...ictures016.jpg

I put mine there as well.

Mine is tucked into the passenger side wheel well, attached to the inner fender by the side vent.

drivers side inner fender, under the master cyl, msd did a test and found that they actually work better in a warm area, under the hood according to the tech i spoke to at msd a few years ago---look under master cyl in photo--this is before new stroker build-------------------http://www.imagesup.com/usr/90/000_0133.jpg

I cut a hole the back of the glove box and installed it there. Sorry no pics yet. I did it so I can adjust the rev limiter without getting out of the car.

Sorry for being a little off topic but.....I've been thinking about getting either the MSD6AL or the digital one.

Question is, are they really worth it? I'm very rarely above 5000 RPM anymore, and don't really have any issues with the factory HEI.

Is the seat of the pants improvement worth the expense of these things?

I put mine right above the Driver's side Control Arm, tucked underneath the body as far as it would go. Looks OK there, sorry no pics though. The only thing is I can't get mine to work for my car.

Attached mine to the bottom of the passengers side heater duct. Didn't want it in the engine compartment.

MonzaRedConvert 03-05-2007 03:41 PM

I put mine behind the passenger side lower dash pad, right behind the map pocket. I had problems with it mounted on the fender well. Header heat seemed to cook it.

Theres a cool(ambient) ,place where it fits nicely in the Passenger side fender well under the windshield washer Bottle. Mount it on rubber grommets with screws and nuts to the outside. Then Tighten the nuts from the outside with the wheel removed , its a cinch;) .
Good luck..
