Mounting the MSD Ignition System

Well yesterday my new MSD 6AL arrived in the mail.

Tonight I studied the 101 Projects and the MSD instructions to mount the unit. First off in the MSD instructions it talks about the anti vibration mounting hardware (missing from my kit) but no big deal I have lots of rubber pad around so I can make that.

The 101 Projects book says to mount it where the current Control Unit is mounted on the left side in the engine bay.

I removed the current control unit and tried every which way to fit the MSD into that area. I don't see how it is going to fit and allow access to changing the fuel filter in the future.

Does anyone have photos of how they mounted their MSD unit. I need so help here. I am at a loss. Manual say 4 hours to install. I guess a mechanic could do that but I spent 2 hours tonight removing the control unit, trying to fit the MSD and then re-installing the control unit. At least next try won't take so long on the removal. I know what tools to use.


Photos of you mounting location would be very helpful.

Thanks,
