    Installing MSD Box

    in Electrical Tech

    Posted

    I'm getting ready to install MSD Box in my Monte and was wondering where everybody was putting theirs. I have AC hoses running along the fender so there is really no room there. That would have been my first choice. I can bend up a bracket and mount it on the driver side wheelwell, but will have to add some wire for the battery connections and this just seems like a place for future problems. I thought about mounting it inside under the dash, but a few have told me that they make an annoying buzz sound. Also, if anyone has any advice or pics, that would be cool. I have installed one before, but it was in my 55 and I had plenty of room and options.

    Transmission Cooler Help!

    in Drivetrain Tech

    Posted

    I think the reason alot of people use these types of coolers as opposed to the small finned type that go in front of the radiator is because they offer you the option of placing it elsewhere. I, and a buddy of mine both have these coolers mounted on our frame rails right next to the tranny so the cooler lines are nice and short and clean. Both of

    us do not use our radiator tranny coolers and both of us have had them on in excess of 10 years with zero problems on th350 trannies. I read an article in Car Craft a couple of years ago that said these coolers were more efficient, but I don't know how true that really is. Hope this helps.

    I changed mine over a few years back and drive mine year-round, pretty much daily. No issues whatsoever! Easy install. I had one on my old Jeep CJ for about 8 years and never had any issues and was confident enough with it that I had no problems running through the Rubicon with it. I just threw the old points and condenser in the glove box just in case but never needed them. Now I have the old Pertronix from my jeep in a roadside emergency kit in the trunk of my Monte. Don't think I'll ever need it, but it's a piece of mind on road trips. I have the points/condenser in the kit too, just in case. Neither takes up any room or weighs anything. Make sure to use QUALITY wires. I used Taylors.

    I have no problem with pulling an engine...it's removing the hood that's the hard part.



    I haven't pulled a hood in years. It scares all my buddies but I swear by those plates you bolt to the intake. I'm slowly converting all my buddies one at a time. Just converted another one last month. grin I watch the Powerblock shows and they use them all the time, big blocks, aluminum intakes and all.
