Electronic Ignition Module Underhood location

I converted my 70 Swinger from Dual Points to electronic, and mounted the module on the firewall to the left of the wiper motor. I have been told by many "experts" that this is incorrect because of it being mounted to close to the engine where it may soak heat. I ran the car for three years like this before I took it apart for restoration. I never had a heat problem, but , like said, it wasn't ran but a few years. My question is, where did the facvtory mount the ignition module on the later A bodies? I dont really like the look of it mounted on the fender behind where the washer bottle goes, but if that is the safest place, I may do it. The pic is where my Ignition module was before I tore my car down.dartresto1 015.jpg
