msd mounting location

I'm sure there are many posts regarding the mounting location of the MSD 6A, but I haven't had any luck finding them. The PO removed the washer fluid reservoir and put the msd box in that location. I would rather have the reservoir and relocate the box. I seem to recall that some guys installed it inside the car but don't recall where and don't see a good location. Under the hood doesn't have many options either. I'm probably not seeing the obvious here so please enlighten me.

Re: msd mounting location

I'll post a pic of mine. It's a mallory digital box with touch controls so I wanted it with in reach. Mounted on front of dash.

Other places I have used or seen used..
Under dash on pass side,
Pass side front bottom of console,
On top of heater suitcase under hood.,
On the well in front of the strut tower like where the battery is, but on other side of car.
On front side of strut tower
