I cleaned my firewall with a paint stripper a putty knife and then I painted it. I had wires mounted on the firewall with clips. I mounted my msd box on the passenger side fire wall right next to the ac unit.

Where did you run the wires that where on the top of the fire wall going across?

Various places. Some went down and under the core support, others are hidden behind the crossmember. Look at where the wires are going and determine a less visable route.

I always hide the msd boxes under the dashboard when I install them.

Best place, I hate seeing them mounted on the firewall. Someone takes the time to shave the firewall and clean it up then BAM! MSD box right in the middle.
