I had a MSD404C and a MSD7C unit mounted where the stock battery mounts in my old street and strip Duster, the 404C unit quit at the MATS races after running three years, the 7C was in the car when I sold it 5 yrs later I've ran the MSD race boxes for a lot of years mounted under the hood, I ruined one by soaking it with water when washing the motor off on one of my old race cars No other problems that I'm aware of. The 404C unit had broken wire harness in it and MSD said they didn't stock or make those harnesses any more I mounted my Mopar Orange ECU box on the radiator core support on the passenger side by the horns in my 1966 Dodge Coronet so the harness to the distributor and coil aren't real long

I run several for many years. Nice hidden spot is under the battery tray. Doug I have mine in the same place as Doug's, battery tray. There is an opening/vent in the radiator shroud right at that spot that always blows cold air on the unit. Jerry

Digital 6-Plus box here. Mounted underhood to the fenderwell up front passenger side where the horn would be. Been there for 6 years and plenty of street miles now. No issues.

You guys rock! Thanks for the input, there is a space for it in front of the rad support, drivers side. No Pro Power coil, I have the 8251 HVC. This system has been alive since 1998, It's actually a 7ML-2 box for Marine duty. This box, the distributor and coil were in my V-drive boat (440 powered of course)then transferred to the race car. Box was replaced in 2012, just because I wanted the 7AL-3, the coil and dis. replaced last year from contingency winnings, just because I thought the stuff was getting pretty old. Now the old boat setup is going in the Dart!
