I have seen them located in the trunk and it looks like it works really well.

usmcsawgunner · July 7th, 2008, 10:06 PM

is it true that you have to up the gauge of wire since its so far away from the the dist?

In the glovebox, under the seat, on pass. trans tunnel...

hey, i just had the same concerns as yourself. I never drive or take it out in any bad climates, but wanted it free of all elements, considering i just spent a lil over 4$$ on the MSD 6BTM ignition. I just mounted my box where the passenger feet would go, i will post some pics tomorrow

yeah usually you up the gauge of wire so current travels easier

id put it between the pass/driver seat, glovebox or places like that.

anywhere where it wont be kicked or damaged like that

what about on the underside for your front bumper behind the plastic, that way it is in front of all of the water getting sprayed from the tires and it will be outside of the engine heat?

I've never heard that before. I kind of like that idea.

If you wreck your car a $200 ignition box is going to be the least of your concerns.....
