Well they do not like heat, that being said mounted in the engine compartment away from headers should be sufficient. Having said that I have ALWAYS run mine in the interior of the car. Do you have the power and ground wires for the box run directly to the battery? Also what about the coil?

Make a little sheet metal baffle to shield it and find out My MSD7C is mounted on the top of the drivers side inner fenderwell right above where the battery would be if I had the battery in the stock location,my battery is in the trunk. I run a set of two inch Hooker fenderwell headers in my Duster, there 4 or 5 inches away from the MSD box My MSD coil is mounted on the front of the motor on the front of the intake valley shield right behind the thermostat housing. I drive it on the street in 90F weather here in central oregon and it has never missed a beat, not once in four years now

I cannot help with your problem but I can say that I do run my box's under the hood on the frewall. Never a problem with this..
I did have to send one box back this year and it was because I bought it off a flooded car.. got wet and was done. MSD was very quick and fixed this box for me.. No issues with it now and I have it on my 512... Ran it during the break in period and worked perfectly...
It is worht getting an RMA and sending them back... They will fix them.
