I did the same thing that Clois did, inside, but inboard of the passenger side, more over the tunnel, so that the distributor wire can run straight through the firewall, accross the intake manifold. I like a clean looking engine compartment, and reasoned that the cockpit would be cooler, after reading on this site about MSD failures, and the possibiliy that these failures may have been affected by heat. Welded a couple of 1/2" angles upright on the main square tube crossmember, so that the top of the MSD box faces the rear of the car. There is room for another one, which I am considering, in order to avoid getting stranded. Passengers and wives are more likely to ride if they perceive reliability.
