Where should I place my MSD 6A, if I dont put it on top of the engine, I have to extend some of the leads.
I think the right innerving is the best place, and then extend the leads to the battery.
Am I right? Opinion please.

innerving????????

If you meant the inner fender on top, behind the alternator, that's where I'd put it.

Ok, inner fender is the right word, give me ten more years and I will get a grip of this.
Did you use the same area on the leads when you extended them?

On my truck (still got points on my valiant), I used the same gauge wire for the big power leads (I think they're 10 gauge), but used larger wire on the coil leads (upgraded to 14 gauge) since I had some spools of 14 gauge wire lying around. (Battery is on passenger side front corner, only place to mount was firewall, and coil is on drivers side rear corner)

I also added a 30 amp relay (switched by ignition), and 20 amp fuse to the power lead for good measure.

I'm still contemplating a ignition upgrade for the valiant, and if there are any external box(es) they will go on inner vender.

placed mine on the right inner fender. dist wires pointing to the alternator, coil, heavy batt and ignition wires pointing to the firewall. This way, I had to extend both battery heavy gauge wires, i used 4 mm premium cable and soft soldered covered crimp-on connectors. Had to shorten the coil cables and of course, connect the small red one to 12v. I packed all those cables under stock looking non adehesive vynil tape, wrapped tight, and the cables run under stock location, so it's fairly noticeable. One thing I had to do is bond tohether IGN 1 + IGN 2 cuz the car was stalling in the transition between those 2 circuits (one carries 12v at contact, the other at run) Also be sure you twist together the dist cables (if using magnetic pickup) to keep interferences away. I used no relay or fuse.... and I burnt my heavy battery cable when it contacted with the front section of my headers. long story short, the cable melted, soldered itself to the pipe, I resoldered together that very cable (was in the middle of nowhere) and bingo she fired up instantly!.
