Lots of air moving through the cowl vents to keep it cool. Some people say that MSD boxes can make clicking sounds but we have never noticed. We also got rid of the connector for the column wiring and replaced it with a terminal strip: https://www.facebook.com/THENEWCDRA Proud member of the liberal scientific elite

Haven't used it, but I like of idea of not having to drill any holes. I bought one of these to install on a buddy's road runner so I wouldn't have to hack holes in the firewall. Works quite slick I say. No need for 10 feet of wiring to get inside or under the battery tray. Even without a carb or air cleaner on it, it hides behind the manifold really well. I can't afford this. mark

Have access to the RPM pill for easy swaps. I hardly turn on my heater so it doesnt get that warm but I wanted a clean engine bay and hardly any wires visible. I couldnt mount under the battery tray because I have a vaccuum assist motor under there Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s
