Im looking for ideas on where to mount my 6al box. I cant decide to go underhood or glove box. Could I see how everyone else mounted theirs??

We put mine on the left side of the radiator support..I can take a pict later as I dont think I have one in my computer here..I found a pict of where we mounted the coil just in case as I know you have to install one also..On the engine pict i Posted the MSD box is on the drivers side all the way at the bottom under the headlite it is isolated from the heat and you wont see it unless you look straight down.

X2 but my box is on the inner fender about the same position as this sounds. I can't find any pics either!

I mounted mine on the right inner fender, timing control box just below it.

that doesnt look like a 6al. how does the heat dissipate from that position? Ive got a 7al digital and was thinking about doing something like what you did.

i have been running that box in there for 5 years and have not had a problem with it. the truck with the 468 bbc motor got drove at least 120 miles a week. i have changed a lot on the truck now and i also have stepped up to the 7531 programmable digital-7 plus box. it will also be mounted in the glove box.

Here's where I put mine. The raised area on the rad support is almost made for it!

Sacto, that's clean!
