Default MSD IGNITION

Has anyone installed a MSD igniton box in there C3. Doesn't look I will be able to fit it under the hood.
I am sure someone out there has found an ideal remote location in their VET to put one.

I've seen a couple mounted to the firewall on the right (passenger) side of the distributor. One more thing that I want to upgrade one of these days.

Mine is getting an AC system from hotrod air in a week or so, which will get rid of the "outside" part of the heater/AC/blower boxes. I should have plenty of room on the passenger side then for adding nifty electronics.

bill.
