Kim's FB how did you????

Mount your MSD ignition in that little corner of the engine bay? I want to put mine there but the space is so limited to get a power tool in there to start any screws. I want to put mine in the same spot.

Thanks in advance.

The poor little thing hangin in the corner. (im talking about he MSD box you pervs.)

I unscrewed all of the brackets in that space and such and ty strapped them to the main harness, tucked in and out of the way to clear space. I then trimmed the top lip part very carefully, and I cut more than I had to because I wanted to try and make it look like that lip was never there, then touched up with paint. Test fit the MSD, marked the two top holes, predrilled and painted the exposed metal in the holes. I used stainless steel screws. The bottom holes will be impossible to get a tool in there, so I used heavy duty velcro. To avoid metal to metal contact since I didn't use the rubber mounts on the MSD, I used foam tape on the back of the MSD. It fits very snug in there and it does not vibrate or move and has not gotten loose..

That is the flattest space I found that it is out of the way of any ignition parts or wiring.
