Ballast Resistor Location Suggestions

Hey everyone, I need some input on where I should locate the ballast resistor for my 67 K20. I ordered the AAW classic update kit (which is super nice BTW) and have begun to get the truck wired. I opted for the AAW kit for a few reasons. First off, it was highly recommended here on the board. Secondly, it was a ton cheaper than going piece meal on a factory harness. Lastly, it will give me plenty of room to grow should I decide to ditch the SBC 327 later on down the road.

Since I am staying with a traditional distributor, coil, and points setup, I have to use a ballast resistor in place of the original resistance wire that used to be in the truck. My question for you all, is where is the best place that I should locate it for both functionality and aesthetics? I was thinking of putting it on the firewall kind of by the distributor, but I am not sure if it will look out of place.

Here is a picture of the ballast resistor and a few places I was thinking to locate it on the firewall.

Thanks, Clay
