Where to mount MSD 6AL on 86 Iroc

I am looking for a good place under the hood to mount the 6AL box. The car has a/c and I can't seem to find a big enough flat spot to mount it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jim

I mounted mine on the passenger strut tower. On the backside of it close to the fender. It fits nicely there, I used some 3m double sided tape to stick it to the tower.

Yeah I really like the 400 it makes great torque. The first time I rode in my brothers 428CJ 69 Mach 1. I was hooked on large displacment motors. I was 12 at the time it made a lasting impression.

what heads/cam are you running on your 400?

The system is mounted on the driver's side at the very front of the engine compartment. It was there when I got the car and looks nice there. Just a suggestion.
