My friend had his MSD box in his glovebox, it gave a sort of whining noise inside the car, is this just his set or is that normal for those MSD ignition boxes?

Wll when i had the frame notch done originally I has 17x8 in front and 17x11 in the rear with 315's on them. I believe I had a centered backspace at 5.5"...and the wheels stuck out like an 1/8". Thats why I sold them...b/c I hated the fact that they stuck out!!!!

Looking good! I installed a similar seat with the same brackets but I had to flip the brackets the other direction to get the right height,lean.
Does the bolt go all the way through on the IO Port upper seat mount? You dont want something that can impale you when you get rear ended. Here is some interesting reading on racing seats and installs that a friend passed along to me to help with mine:
