Ignition box mounting
I finally picked up a 6AL for the car, been sitting for 4 months now. I mounted it on the firewall where my AC box used to be. I was told that theres too much heat there and to move it. Is this person correct? I dont mind moving it if i'll keep the box alive longer.
My question is where do you have yours mounted? Pics? Also is the person right about the heat? I have 2210's ceramic coated.
Any help would be appreciated..

Re: Ignition box mounting
If the headers are coated, the amount of under hood heat is much lower. Mine is a gutted out race car. My ignition and coil are inside the car.

Mine sits on the driver's side firewall in the corner. It's been there for about 6 years now, never gets wet or even remotely hot.

Re: Ignition box mounting
Thanks guys!
Skinny that setup looks nice, I think I'm going to move mine there. I have a good idea for somewhere to install it inside the car so I'll see if that works 1st.

Re: Ignition box mounting
when i had a stock dash, i used a modified factory computer bracket to house the msd under the dash inside the car.
now that i have a 4th gen dash, i have it mounted on the back of the glovebox, so its accessable, and still able to use the glove box.
i dont have any pics or id post them.
