For those of yall with spark boxes....
...where did you mount yours in the engine compartment? I have a 6AL, and was curious where you might have put yours.
thanks, Larry

Box
I mounted my 6a box inside under the glove box I made a mounting plate. I didn't see any place in the engine compartment that I liked.
The only thing I don't like is I can hear the box. If I had a radio maybe I wouldn't.

How long of a run to your coil? Would this cause any problems if it were too far a run to the coil or pick up?
Thanx for the pics Larry

i had a mallory box in my engine compartment but for some reason with headers and everything it would get to hot in the engine compartment and the box would cause like a circuit breaker to pop and the truck would shut off..... so now mine is on front of my rad support.... this allows the cool air to blow across it and i havent had a problem yet.... if i drove it more then i would worry about water getting inside of it..... but since mine has been going onto the trailer and down the track then back onto the trailler i am not to concerned..
best of luck Rat
