I'm about to purchase a MSD 6BTM, and I would like some advice on where to physically install it. I remember some time back in an article in either MM&FF or 5.0, they installed it in the fender well right below the battery. The guy fabricated an aluminum bracket and mounted it there. He said this was a great location, away from dirt and engine heat. By the way, does anyone remember the issue?

Is this where you installed yours?
If so, can you please tell me where I can get a template of the bracket?​
If not, where did you install yours?​

Thanks in advance for your input,

This is where mine is located.I put it in the left side of the bumper cover but keep in mind that mounting it here is subjecting it to rain which isn't an issue for me because the car has never been in it.I have seen them in the glove box,under seats,on firewalls in the cowl area when wipers aren't being used.

I installed mine on the floor in front of the drivers seat. I like to keep MSD boxes inside the car as it seems to help them live longer before failing.
