Mounting the MSD box in the footwell rather than the engine compartment really makes the overheating of the control box a non-issue. But, when mounted in the footwell, it usually mounted up-side down; There can be a problem with this installation too if moisture from rain or washing the car can get to the box because there is no drain hole on the top of the box (since it's inverted). Drilling a hole in the top of the box is not an option either because of metal fragments falling inside when drilling. Good electrical connections aside, most MSD problems are related to the manetic pickup or the dist. caps center carbon contact erosion from improper rotor installation.
