Default Best spot to mount ignition box?
Whats the best location to mount an MSD 6AL box? I have the box, coil, and the plug in harness ready to go.

Pics?

The Search spot is really good I hear, it has all sorts of room!

Seriously, this exact topic was just covered not long ago with multiple people providing pics. Hell I think it had the exact same thread title!

I put mine there for two reasons.

1.) good ventilation
2.) out of the way and out of sight

Got mine in the glove compartment to keep it away from water. I've heard many say they don't like it there though because I guess their boxes burned up without the ventilation. Mine has been perfect for a year and a half now of daily driving.

Only if you aren't a daily driver and don't see rain. This is where mine is.

Anywhere there is good ventilation. MSD instructions specifically say no glove boxes.
