Someone offers a bracket to mount it on the engine-using the rear intake turkey pan hold down bolts. Clean and out of sight.

I put mine on the bottom of the battery tray. Had to lengthen the wiring of course. Clean looking and box is protected from heat. Drilling into the firewall risks damaging the heater/AC unit. X2 . . . did same thing on my 70 Sport Satellite !!

The best method is to ditch it and that crap distributor and go Firecore.

Most folks don't even notice it back there, especially with the air cleaner on. I don't use the Mopar orange box any longer either. My "new" ignition of choice has been the Rev-n-nator with built in rev limiter. Stan

I have always carried an extra orange box , coil and electric fuel pump but have never needed any of them. But its best to be prepared in case. I dont run the ballast as I bypassed it 2 years ago and running my orange box and Acell supercoil it does not need it. The coil never gets hot and its worked good for two years so far. Ron
