I tried to place mine on the firewall also, but there seemed to be no room. Thus, I had to place it on the driver's side fender.

Did those rubber feet come with your MSD box? Mine is bolted directly to the firewall with no rubber. I'm thinking that would be a good idea for vibration dampning.

Mine's on the driver strut tower..... bolted through the wheel well......
Good Fit ....... I'm happy cause there's not much room under there! I wanted to do the firewall thing but it just didn't seem to fit!

You know with the way electronics technology has advanced you would think they could redesign those units and make them a little smaller.No reason to make such big klinky units anymore.

shouldn't damage it since it is sealed with some kind of sealant, like epoxy or something.
