Where to mount an ignition box??

Hey everyone,

I am thinking of getting an MSD 6AL and wondered where a good spot to mount it would be. Any tips/suggestions/pictures will be a great help. Thanks.

I mounted mine driverside firewall right where the relays were. Just zip tie'd them and tucked them back out of the way. Probably not the best idea since viberations and water can ruin them, but a quick bracket could fix that.

If you can mount it some place it can get air flow id do it, having it on display is just like a fishing lur for a theif.

Also make sure and run the wires right, the wires come out of different ends of the box for a reason so there is no cross talk, so don't bundle them all together.
