Upside down MSD?

Upside down MSD?
So you cannot mount the MSD upside down, so I am told. How can I mount this? It is going inside the radiator shroud on the battery side panel. Is this what they mean by upside down, or is it literally upside down as in if I were to mount them under the top panel of the radiator shroud?
1 or 2, which should I go with? Currently have it on 2.

those are both mounting it vertically which shouldn't be a problem. they mean literally upside down becaust the circut board it bolted to the top of the case if it's upside down condensation will accumulate on the board and blow it. any other position and it shouldn't be an issue. I have a box I bought in 1997 and it's been in 78 cars and it's still running strong!

+1, it needs to be able to drain water out

Hmm, that is an issue then. I have the 6AL on the inner radiator surround near the battery, and the 2 6A's under the top radiator surround, but they are mounting upside down.
How does water get into it? I would think you could just drill through the rivets and seal it with some epoxy or silicone, then bolt it on; then you have to worry about the high heat (I assume) with the MSD boxes.

i've never heard bout not mounting them upside down but i've heard you shouldnt put them anywhere in the engine bay due to the heat, i was actually thinking about doing mine in the pass storage bin that way it's away from all the elements of extreme under hood temps and water but that's just me idk
