LD85	MSD 6AL mount spot	#1
Master Guru Indianapolis, Indiana 784 Posts Member since: 2005/9/16 0:00	I had to move the 6AL because I bought a new one and the new 6AL has a removable plug on it, so I used the same bracket I had and added a plate to it, just thought i would post a pic for future idea seekers. Nothng highly accurate or fancy, but it clears the hood and works fine.

That brain is rather sensitive to heat. With the engine out, I am going to move the brain inside the glove box. Drill some holes in the firewall, run the harness in, RTV seal it at the firewall and be done. I hope it works and doesn't take 10 hours to fabricate!

I would have put it under my dash but teh FAST and wiring leaves no room for mounting it there.

I may do a clear lid... but inside a sealed glovebox, inside a car... should be pretty dry. I may even add a fan on the lid... a cute little 1.5" muffin fan.

I have always wanted to use a small low voltage fan for cooling, that's a good idea

I don't know, I will take a laser reading after a long drive on the MSD out of curiosity, summer time would be better, but I could see how hot the MSD box gets.
