With the factory ECM and harness out of the way, it looks like the new MSD box will slide right into the pocket the ECM used to set in and the wires will feed right out the same hole the CCC harness used.







Does anyone see any issues with me just sliding the MSD box into this slot in the plastic kick panel to hold it in place?

It almost seems too simple and easy...

There isn't room in the slot to put the rubber feet the MSD box comes with though, the box itself just barely fits into the plastic pocket. Not sure if the box creates too much heat for the plastic or if the plastic will transfer to much vibration to the shell of the MSD box? I can't imagine either being a problem though as the box is digital now and the factory ECM has been riding in that slot for 30 years now with no issues.
