MSD box mounting on heater box?

I did this a while back when I was just trying to get it finished. Do you think it will be alright? I thought it was fine, but now im not really sure if I trust it. The thing is, There arent many places open to mount it.

Re: MSD box mounting on heater box?

I mounted mine on the firewall right behind my distributor... The only better solution I could think of is mounting it somewhere flat or maybe inside the cab?

Re: MSD box mounting on heater box?

I mounted mine on the inner fender. On the rubber isolation mounts. It has not been a problem so far. I can get pics if you like. But it looks like there might not be much room there with the ac stuff and that yellow box by the way what is that?

Mine is mounted on the inner fender as well. Never had a problem so far.

Re: MSD box mounting on heater box?

I would worry about cracking the fiberglass as the MSD vibrates...
