Where is everyone generally mounting their MSD?

[Ghoste]

I ask because as I am looking through the stack of photos I've taken over the past year, I notice a few multistrike boxes sitting up on top of the inner fender and some cars with no ballast or ecm but no visible box.  Which means they are being tucked away someplace.  So I'm just wondering where most of you prefer to install it?

[CFMopar]

I mounted mine on the passenger side fender

[Brock Samson]

mines behind the pass side headlights on the Rad. support.

I don't have a working windshield washer system, so I took off the reservoir on the passenger inner fender and mounted the box there...

[Ghoste]

Those are the fairly obvious spots, I guess.  My own is mounted under the washer bottle.  Going by my pics, Brock's would count as hidden.  Didn't really shoot any photos of the front of the rad supports so if there are a bunch of others putting them there, then my original question is answered.

[dodge freak]

Well the trunk is the best for hidding it and MSD tech says it work fine back there as long as both the pos. and neg. are hook right to the battery. I am to busy and lazy to move mine

[Chryco Psycho]

I mounted mine on someone elses vehicle !!

[myk]

Lol...

Only because you hate MSD .  Where are you installing the boxes you do like Neil?

[Silver R/T]

on top of inside fender, but would like to mount it under dash inside

[whitehatspecial]

I mounted mine on the inside of the passenger side front fender. I wanted to mount it on the firewall but was afraid I'd mess up the heater core with the self-drilling screws.

[defiance]

Passenger inner fenderwell, just behind radiator support.

[Chryco Psycho]

depends what people want , I have mounted them under the dash completely hidden , under battery trays or in plain sight
I don`t Hate MSD , just had a lot of problems with the boxes failing

[myk]

What happens when they start to fail or have failed?

[Chryco Psycho]

the ign quits firing

[myk]

Well, guess mine's still working then...

[Mefirst]

I mounted the first MSD AL7-2 Ign. Box in trunk, sadly this ign. box died later, cause of death is still under debate... You can mount it in ex. the trunk, only thing to remember is to use ticker wire gauge...

I later bought a MSD Digital 6 ign. box. I mounted it on the driver side fender...

I have my ignition box mounted on the inside of the firewall behind the glove box.  There is lots of room up there and it is a lot cooler than under the hood.  Heat kills electronics.

[Ghoste]

Is there space above the heater?  (obviously there is if you have yours there, but I never would have thought of that)

[Steve P.]

I've seen a few up under the battery tray. I like the firewall inside right by the incoming air opening.

[Dodge Don]

Mine is going on top of the heater box hidden away under the dash. It'll be wired into the harness' and all the single point hardware will still be visable so it'll look correct.....but it'll be upgraded.

[Sledge57]

I don't have a working windshield washer system, so I took off the reservoir on the passenger inner fender and mounted the box there...

Me too 

[original72]

i mounted mine on the passenger fender behind the head lights..... did this on another charger too and drove it for 5 years no problems....

[73Charger]

It looks like I'm the only one with it on the Drivers side fender.  My windshield washer resevor was gone, and I put the new universal one up in front of the radiator support on that side. Ofcourse, sorry - mine is a Mallory CD box, I left the msd in the nova. 

[Ghoste]

I don't think I could have gotten one between the headlights and rad cradle.  The rotating headlight buckets in the 1st gens don't leave much room there for other parts.

I found this place for my MSD.
Run the wiring inside and out the cowl under the intake
I also designed a drip rail, so that the MSD module do not get wet (not on the pic´s)

[1974dodgecharger]

Do u take the whole panel out if it fails?

[A383Wing]

mines going in the bottom drawer of my cabinet...I'm in the process of switching over to the 4-pin GM HEI module on my cars

[Chargen69]

mine is behind my radio.  cant see it, and no heat issues

Since I switched over to msd it seems it takes awhile to crank it to turn over. Why is that? When it does turn over wow the idle is much better than the silver box, orange etc....I have used in the past.

LOL

I actually prefer the Chrysler  ECU. They got it right the first time.

[Ghoste]

I think I'm going Firecore next and not bother with either the MP ecu or the MSD.

[fy469rtse]

Yep ghoste,
Like you , going with the fire core billit distributor, have clearance problems with my victors heads,
Going run firecore control box and coil,
Interesting thread, I was wondering where to mount box , probably going to mount under the washer reservoir,
Although I like that mounting point behind splash shield where radio antenna cord goes ,
How much splash and run off water would get in there though ?
Good spot 
Sick of ignition problems , that's why the firecore

[Ghoste]

Another spot I used since this thread began was under the battery tray.  I forget why I moved it from the side by the washer bottle but I ended up mounting it on the side panel of the rad cradle under the battery tray.

[tracpack440]

I mounted my MSD under the dash to the front of the heater box. Out of site and away from the engine heat.  I run the Fire core Dizzy and Plug wires

[devilgear]

When I got my 73 Charger it was mounted on the passenger firewall. I always suspected it was getting too hot. So I mounted to the back of my glove box. I put stand offs on the screws so it don't lay flat. I can hear it click, but I did it several years ago and it seems fine and looks cool. Ha

[303 Mopar]

Not a Charger, but in my '71 Challenger I mounted the MSD behind the battery in my trunk in an effort to clean up the engine bay. I ran all the wires through a loom inside the fender well, along the pinch weld  and then in the engine bay through the splash shield.  I ran the battery cables through the frame rails.
