mines under the dash behind the stereo. It was in the engine compartment in my last car where the battery used to be and had an msd rep tell if I could avoid it to not put it in the engine compartment.

Andrew Montoya, was it your relative Juan Pablo Montoya that crashed into a jet dryer last night during the Daytona 500 and almost burned down the track? If so, have him sign something for me. "Dear Vibrant, I was in the 54th running of the Daytona 500 but only known for hitting a jet dryer and causing a jet fuel fire." I would appreciate it.

Where exactly did you mount yours? I have my clip off right now and was thinking about mounting mine on the left side inner structure near the washer reservoir. If I need to access it, I could just remove the fender liner.

That's the new digital one right? I just got one too and wondering where the heck to place it. My old MSD6AL took a dump but I put it where the airbox was and the supercharger is pretty close and gives off some heat. Maybe that killed it.

I'm thinking inside the car now, not sure where yet...

+1 on the fender. Mine is in the driver's side. Out of the way and been fine for years. There really isn't a good place in the interior IMHO if you are trying to keep the stock look.

This is where a PO mounted the box, it had to have quite a length of wire.
