MSD Ignition

I have a 1988 F-150 with a 302 and am about to install a new ignition. I was just wanting some input on where the best place is to mount the ignition that you all have found is best and have used. Got any ideas???

I relocated the battery to passenger side of the pickup bed. I mounted a MSD 6A along with an ARB air compressor where the battery was.
