I mounted mine under the battery tray, “back to back” with the CD unit (six) fits in that spot nicely. Sorry no pix, many miles from my car

My MSD I hacked/welded a /6 CDI bracket and it's mounted in the stock location, bolted to the front of the battery tray.

Oh boy, don't want it near the battery. I have a project coming up where I have to grind the old battery tray off and put a new one on. Any other great places for it?

Any other great places for it? Not sure why. The new batteries are virtually sealed. The old rain battery acid issues are pretty much a thing of the past. |

Make a bolt on bracket than you can add to your new battery tray latter,no problem being near the battery,its the best place ,Porsche used this area for the 6 cylinder cars unit. I mounted my CDI there and fitted it with the plug facing down ,my battery tray is a custom one that bolts on.  |
