Re: MSD BOX locations please.
Dang Jeff!
That's sweet. BTW, mine is a digital 6 and is bolted to the cardboard insert of the glovebox. The HVC Coil is mounted on the fenderwell near the battery (see below). It's not as clean an install as Jeffs though. The box does stay cool. I've checked several times after having it out running. You know, if it's cool air you want, that's a pretty good location if you have A/C. The A/C duct runs right above the glove box and a strategically placed hole and routing of air will keep it cool even when you have just outside air on it if you think about it. ![]()

Re: MSD BOX locations please.
I'll try to get pictures later, by my 6A is mounted to the passengers side fender near the battery. I made a metal shroud around the box to protect it against rain which turned out to be very necessary, because after a rainy day there was a puddle on top of the shroud from where water dripped between the hood and fender.

Re: MSD BOX locations please.
Here's my setup. The metal shroud is necessary to keep the box dry in this location. Also provides the mounting points for the box since the fender is irregularly shaped and has large holes in it.
