inside would be great just a heck of alot of work and space is limited since i ran my EFI module inside.

I really was considering reversing it from where it is now since there are 4 holes in my drivers fender apron and just mount the box inside the fender well up top where it would be away from the engine heat and should get some air flow when driving i would assume.

i also am going to upgrade to a newer box my box is the old style which has wires coming out both ends and i want to clean things up a bit.

I put mine (Mallory, but same idea) on the backside of the radiator support, it's hardly visible there. Paint it black and it would just about disappear.

The MSD in my Nomad is under the front seat on the passenger side.

I put mine in the gap between the inner fender and radiator support. My thought was the breze on the outside of the headlight would cool it. I used delphi connectors as I considered wiring up a spare box for events and it make it more serviceable. The more I work on things, the less I like to hide stuff. I ran my wires down and tethered them to the engine block, by the starter, and up around to the distributor.

Mines behind the headlight and totally disappears under the K&N filter there.

If you want bling, just drill out the rivets and polish it since its aluminum.

My MSD box and coil are both under the dash. Use an MSD Firewall Feed Thru pn 8211. It works great except that the coil is noisy. ...'sounds like Grandpa Munster's basement laboratory.

I put one under the wiper cowl on the 70 Firebird we did and the other I did recently was hid in plain sight one the cameo inside the truck disguised like a heater. As long as they have room to breathe I think they are fine.
