Default Hot MSD Box

Guys...My MSD 6AL box in my Backdraft gets very hot after about 45 minutes of normal driving.
I can only put my hand on it for a few seconds as it is so hot to the touch.

Is this normal? The box cover sort of looks like a heat sink so maybe it is met to get really hot?

If this is in fact a malfuntion any ideas what might cause it?
I tried out another 6AL ignition box temporaraly with the same result so I know it is not the box....I have also checked/cleaned the grounding from the battery to the frame at the rear of the car and frame to the engine in the front.
All is clean with good contact.

.Thanks for any help anyone can provide...ox_ford_guy
