ok i have a 1965 stang....

its been a long time sinse i had the engine compartment in one piece, and now im trying to put it all back together.

So im adding a 6cal MSD box and im trying to fiqure out a good location for it. and i forgot where the coil normally goes.

so hopefully you all can help me.....if you have any pictures, ill give you a vitural six back. any brand you want [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

My box is on the front side of the right shock tower as shown. The coil is in the same spot on the left shock tower and the tach adaptor is on the back side of the right shock tower.

If I were to do it again and didn't already have the MSD box and tach adaptor, I would've just gone with some sort of ready-to-run distributor and called it a day. Performance is still very good, wiring is much easier and the engine bay is a lot cleaner.

Good luck!

I put my MSD box in the interior of the car, where the heater box used to be. The coil should be placed as close the distributor as possible without introducing heat to the coil. The factory put the coil on the intake manifold on the driver's side.

 

My box, noise filter and tach adapter are where the battery used to be (now in the trunk). The coil is attached to the front of the head.

 

heres a pic over mine I put the box between the washer bag and the shock tower there are a couple of holes already there so I only had to drill 1 or 2 it was a long time ago when I put it in there. the coil is mounted to the head on the drivers side.

When I built my '71 Chevelle, I put the MSD box under the front seat, out of sight.

On my current project, my '66 coupe, it will go under the dash or somewhere else out of sight. I'll probably put the coil on one of the shock towers, I don't know for sure yet. (LONG way away from having to worry about that! )

coil anywhere the wire will reach the dizzy the msd box almost anywhere away from heat and water mines in my glove box mounted on a sheet of metal with my fuse block.

 

My coil is in the stock position, with the MSD 6 box on the right shock tower. I also have the MSD distributor.
