no problems with it? i did a search on the site and people were dissin them but it was free, the only downside is that it came off a 71 mach1 we pulled it off because it was supposedly gettin too hot and it would stop workin, hopefully it works on my car, im about to put it in.

i mounted mine up there on the upper passenger side of the firewall. makesure when you mount it you use the rubber shock vibration mounts so the box doesnt go bad (msd-8823 part no.)

Make sure none of the wires were cut, because it might need to be wired up differently on your car. I use a Crane HI-6, but I have had a 6al on the car before. No complaints, only hear good things aobut them. And even if you decide not to use it, you could probably sell it for like $100-$150 and get something else.
