MSD Placement
 
Where are you guys putting your MSD ignition module? It would be great if you had pictures of where you put it. Thanks a lot.

I have the Crane HI-6S and a Moroso CAI, I mounted the ignition box right above the K&N. Right about where the stock airbox filter hole is. I do not have any pics but it was a real clean, simple, and invisible install. If you have CAI and your box is roughly 2x3x6 this should work. Good luck.

I put mine just in front of the strut tower on the drivers side...where it dips down. I think I barely had to move the fuel line bracket.

You can also mount one on the firewall. Sorry I have no pics. :(

Is it any easier to get to it to adjust?

Thanx
Joe

I just checked, and it won't fit in that area.

Sounds good Josh. I may have to take you up on that offer. But I have to replace my fuel pump first. I think it's on it's last leg.

m0nk- How did you secure the unit down? Sheet metal screws? And how long are they? Thanks a lot.

m0nk Jun 19, 2003 01:57 AM

Umm I would say the screws are about 1/4" after the bottom of the msd unit, only has 2 screws on the top R and top L, you can feel about 2 threads sticking out in the wheelwell

Or you could mount it here. :)

Do you have any better pictures of the unit? It's kind of hard to tell how you mounted it there. Or if you could tell me how you did. :) Thanks.

madwolf Jun 19, 2003 12:43 PM

No better pics, but it's mounted on top of the plastic mudshield, right near the CAI filter...

Re: MSD Placement
 
I know this is a really old thread but I was looking at the placement areas here and the black cable that the wiring diagram says to go to the battery negative is too short, do I need to splice another length of cable (what gauge?) or can I just ground it to the chassis?

You can easily ground it to the ground location by the headlights on top of the radiator support.
