Question Ignition.....where do I put it??

Anyone that has already put an ignition upgrade on their ride....where did ya put it?? I have a 98 Integra GS and I can find a single damn place to put the controller(MSD SCI-L) or the coil(SS Blaster).
Would like to put the controller on the firewall but there is not enough clearance between the FW and the intake mani, plus all the brake lines. The coil needs to go close to the dist, so the optimal spot would be the passenger shock tower...once again no room.

Anyone that has any insight to this placement, please let me know.

Thanks...

I suggest you to return it if you still can, except if your engine is heavyly modify to high compression ratio (race engine).

The purpose of the MSD is to reduce miss firing for engines that have high compression. If it's just some bolt on mods, it's a waste of money of having it cause it's not going to do you any good at all.

leave it on the shelf in your garage...install it later when your motor needs it - otherwise all your doing is decorating your engine w/ added weight. ignition upgrades do nothing to stock motors; Honda motors burn efficiently & cleanly.
