Mounting MSD - Page 2

maybe mount it on a panel with Dzus fasteners so that it is easy removal---also when you bolt the MSD to the plate perhaps use rubber insulators to isolate vibrations from the unit---FED 387

This ones the 6AL that comes with the rubber insulators. Not sure what else I can do or use to help dampen any vibration with it yet, but i'm open to suggestions. I do have some 1/4-1/2 inch rubber patches, roughly 10-12 inches long laying around somewhere I may try to incorporate as well.

These units have indicator lights to let you know if they are firing correctly. I like having mine (version 8) in sight from the drivers seat and accessible for changing the rpm settings either by chips or dials. My distributor advance is locked out. I have one of the MSD Starter Saver boxes mounted to the backside of my glove box door. I can drop the door and see what it's up too, also.

But then I'm a hard core tinkerer...
