Can anyone post up where they have their MSD ingition box located at?

Mine was right near the intake of my vortech, I'm trying to clean up the engine bay wit hall the wires and ect. I would put it where the battery is BUT i dont have the funds to relocate the battery to the rear as of yet. I've seen a few people mount it on the frame rail. I'm worried about water getting in to it. The only other thing would be to mount it in the car, under the dash if possible.

Any idea?

I had mine mounted under the passenger seat. That worked pretty well until I got some new Corbeau seats that sit a lot lower. So I took out the rear seat and put it there. Then I just made a rear seat delete to cover it up.

iirc, i have read that they are happier in the passenger compartment where the temps don't get as high.

i'd probably try to stick it back behind the shifter if there is room, under the center part of the dash. that is pretty easy to get to if you just yank the shifter cover.

Some of the boxes are noisy.... at least that's what MSD told me when I wanted to send mine in for repairs. :roll: I had mine in the passenger compartment. It was terrible to listen to.

I haven't put it back on the car since the new engine, but I moved my battery to the trunk so that's where it's going. I want it as far away from me as possible.

I'll definitely agree to that. It is not something you just want sitting out. When I had mine sitting in the open where the rear seat was, it was loud as hell.
When I did my rear seat delete, I put some Styrofoam on the bottom side to help reduce the noise. I quieted it down enough to where I could hardly hear it anymore.
