Re: [Chevelle-list] MSD box location

[Capt Crunch]

John this is my $.02 worth... I know many have put MSD boxes under the hood of their cars and been fine, but I have personally done it on my daily driver and a few other cars and all 3 boxes failed within 2 years. I have seen 3 cars come into the shop with boxes under the hood and problems as well. The past few years I have installed them inside (in the glove box works slick or under the dash) and have seen zero problems. Makes sense when you figure they are open to far more elements under the hood... wind, dust, heat, water... etc.   Actually I still prefer running HEI for street cars that don't go over 5000 rpms often or that don't run a power adder. I mean really you either have spark and it ignites or ya don't.   Mikey   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2004 6:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-list] MSD box location   Folks where is the best place to mount a msd box on a 66 velle? It is the 6al with rubber mounts for shock. On the firewall it is too  difficult to get in back of it to screw the nuts on. It is'nt like the regular 6 with self tapping screws because of the rubber absorbers. would it be OK to mount it on the wheel well? Would that be too close to heat? Need Help, Thanks John H. 66
