Double Your Displacement: The Great 455 Swap
Running the powerful multi-spark MSD 6AL was a no-brainer, and proper mounting and wiring will keep the box running happily. After relocating the battery to the driver side of the car with a tray and cables from Year One, the void left on the passenger side was a perfect place to mount the ignition box. Not wanting to drill holes in the core support, we bought a 7x11x0.125-inch aluminum plate, mounted it using two holes left behind from the battery tray, and secured the MSD directly to the plate. A 10-gauge wire runs directly from the battery to this trick enclosed single-stud terminal block we liberated from a junkyard ’89 Riviera. This block provides convenient high-current 12V power for the MSD and any additional accessories we choose to add in the future. View Related Article
