ok i get the idea from you guys to put the msd box behind the strut towers on either side of the car but..... how and what do you mount it to???? what do i use to hold it??? how does it set there without vibrating to death???? msd tech or anyone HELLLP!!!!!!! im trying to get the car running again after the mods in my signature were applied to the engine and this is about the last thing~!

since i sold my third gen a little over a year ago, i've forgotten what under the hood looks like. i recently mounted one on my 74 camaro on the firewall... is there anyroom there? just FYI, they are built to be vibrated around---so it most likely wont be a problem, if you want to, get some small rubber hose, like fuel line, and cut 4 1/2 cm sections off of it to put between the box and what you mount it to(screw the screws through these)

 

Either drill mounting holes or fabricate a bracket. The msd comes with rubber isolators. If you don't use them, it will probably not last near as long.

i have mine mounted to the dash in side the car. i mounted one once where the battery sits, after the battery was moved to the rear. there is a tray one each side for a battery, would it fit there?

I used the rubber isolators with my MSD 6AL. Two of them were screwed directly to the car. The other two went to a bracket I made out of 1/16" steel; and the bracket went to the frame of the with regular self-cutting bolts.

I remember someone gave me the idea of laying a sheet of aluminum across the wiring behind the strut tower, bolting the aluminum to the car, and bolting the MSD to the aluminum. Then I found my spot (pass. strut tower, where coolant bottle was, I replaced the coolant bottle with a smaller version and put it elsewhere), and didn't use the idea.
