MSD Ignition updrade

I will be installing a upgraded ignition system tomorrow. I was planning on doing today but i'm gonna have to get some metal from the hardware store to make custom brackets for the control box. There is no place to mount it under the hood so i'm mounting it behind the gtove box. For the coil, that is already mounted under the intake piping. This sytem has a rev limiter:alien: Which is a very good thing.

Anybody else intall an after-market ignition system?
Where did you mount your box?
Any improvements?

I'm planning on an MSD ignition (sorry Eric, haven't had a chance to send you that money order yet), and I figured out where I'm going to mount it.

I'm relocating my battery to the hatch area, and I'm going to mount it to the old battery tray.

i mounted the coil under the intake piping & the right fender well

now for some reason my car dont want to start

i'm taking a :bonghitte break cause i'm starting to get mad

Red- battery +
Black - ground -
Orange - coil +
(2)black- coil -
(2) red - old coil +
White - old coil -

I mounted my SCI box in the car to keep it cool
removed the glove box(2 10mm bolts)
fab a bracket & its mounted on the ventalation ducting - pretty trick
& is very to change the rev limiter chip

but there is only 1 problem - not running at this minute
i will return the garage to probe the wires to see whats up it

starting to get on my nerves

update sometime later

I got mine running. It was just a bad connection
The control box is a little noisy, that's what I get for mounting it inside the car. After 3,000RPM's the engine is louder than the Ignition. Or I can just raise the volume on the radio if it gets annoying
