I just bought an MSD 6A Autotronic Ignition Control.
Those that have one, I was wondering where you mounted the box?
On the firewall, wherever? If you have words of wisdom or pictures for ideas, that would be great.
Thanks,

Ours is mounted on the inside of the firewall, pass side, above your feet, just below the bottom of the dash.

Mine is mounted where the stock battery usually sits on the fire wall.

Thanks guys.
I wound up putting it on the right side radiator support baffle. Same sheet metal the horn is mounted on except on the engine side. It fits in there pretty good on 1" nylon spacers. Engine does run better as advertised so I have no complaints.
If I turned the key to lock the engine kept running, if I just turned it to the off position it stopped. I put the diode in the brown lead from the alternator to the gen light and it cured the problem.
