Location location location

I am switching over to electronic ign. what do you guy's think is the ideal location for the control mod? And if you have pictures that would be very cool! thanks Rick

 

any time you can keep the control box away from heat you gona have better luck. i had my 6al on the driver side inner fender and i have to send it in to be rebuilt.

 

The Pertronix one fits inside the distributor.
Sounds like you already have the Ford Duraspark? or something aftermarket?

 

i bought it from a guy here in town still in box from fomoco.

 

My car is a 74 and I mounted mine,durasparkII,just in front of the windshield washer tank. It stays cool there,doesn`t get really wet,and has been on the car 5yrs now. It looks like a factory install too!

 

msd made mine back in 1989 MSD-6AL

 

any chance i can see a picture? i can't belive it does'nt get wet!

 

Here's a pic of where I installed mine. I used one pre-existing hole and drilled the others.

 

Mounted mine on the left front inner fender. It survived one front end collision, got swapped to another body, and I ended up running it about 30,000 total miles set up that way with no problem.



I've got my MSD 6AL box in the same spot now. It's been there for around 73,000 miles now and still works fine. Still using the same Duraspark II distributor, and swapped the TFI Ford coil out for a Blaster II TFI coil back when I put the 6AL box in.

 

i can see how that is no problem for you since you have I6, no exhaust manifold close to it. think that would work out w/v8?

 

Mines a 74 and its a v8 has it right next to the drivers side light far away from heat,that's where it was stock too

 

wow, that a long jump! got a picture?

 

Mine is directly below the washer bottle. Not an issue since its always empty.

 

i have mine under my horn
