Re: Where to mount MSD box?
you need to mount it where it has decent "breathing space". they heat up and can overheat in the worst case scenario......

Re: Where to mount MSD box?
i shaved my firewall and put a trimmed and painted 1/8" steel plate over the heater holes.first i test fit the sheet, after trimming from my template.. and then i installed a pro-comp ignition set-up (msd-knock-off) came with pc-51 coil, msd box, and billet mag/pickup dissy. then i mounted it back onto the firewall. if your thinkin of going shaved this is a nice place for extras in the bay'..... ill try to post pics later.
hope this helps, good luck!! |

Re: Where to mount MSD box?
Here's where I put mine.....the raised area almost looks like it was made for it and I like it out of sight.

Re: Where to mount MSD box?
Thanks for the ideas. I mounted mine on the left fender. I couldn't use the right fender due to electrical distribution block mounted overthere.

If you were looking to hide it, out of site.
There's room behind the glove box. Not an MSD but that's where I stashed my computer. |
