Ignition Box and Coil Location

EdM · Oct 2, 2014

For those running a 6A/AL box and non-cylindrical coil. Where have you located them?

inner fender, firewall, under the dash and on passenger floor. just kinda depends on the set up and motor combo and what you like. less heat on the box is always a good thing.

Not an MSD set-up, but I located my Duraspark module on the backside of the passenger-side shock tower.

Kind of like where Totalled put his box in post #215 http://www.7173mustangs.com/thread-totalled-s-rebuild-thread?page=22

I put mine where the washer fluid reservoir used to be.

That is the precise spot I am considering, away from the heat. Nice to see one installed so. Thinking the coil (squarish Mallory e-coil) on the passenger front shock tower. Thanks.

I have mine below the window washer bottle. Mounted with the rubber isolators.

Hello MeZapU,

Can you post a picture of your mounted spark box?

Here's the actual installed pic from before my rebuild.

Passenger side, behind the inner fender and fender. Cool, dry, unseen. The picture isn't great. Chuck

Above the glove box on the inner cowl... sorry no photo.

Mine is just behind the battery.

Mine is just behind the battery.

That's where I am thinking of mounting the coil. Appreciate all of the replies.

I like your placement of the spark box. Where did you place the hole to route your wires?

Mine is mounted on the radiator support.

73StangCoupe,

Nice. That really looks good. That is where I was looking to install. Do have anything between the 6A and the radiator support?

I will take a new picture tomorrow. It was the only one I had and it really looks a lot worse than it does in that pic. Was trying to sort out wiring at that time.
