Where to mount an MSD ignition box????

I have a 87 GTA 350 Auto, and I have an MSD 6AL Ignition box and I can not find a location to mount it down on all 4 corners, not even 3. Has anyone made anything custom to thiers or have a location they can tell me and show me a pic... Thanks

Well i have mine mounted where the heater/ac box is mounted since i removed that whole box. I see people that fab a piece of sheet metal off the passenger side strut tower, some mount it where the charcoal canister is and relocate the canister.

I would reccomend mouting it under the dash on the passenger side. I don't think MSD reccomends mouting them in the engine compartment, but I just remember hearing that somewhere...

I wouldn't put them inside an interior, they get pretty hot. Here's where I mounted mine infront of my windsheild washer tank...
