MOPAR ECU Gold Box

I believe a previous post mentioned an older mopar performance catalog.
The gold box ecu was sold with recommendations to use a specific accel coil ( not the big yellow one) and 1/4 ohm resistor. It is supposed to be a package deal. The 1/4 ohm resistor Is not the same resistor that is recommended for the orange ecu.
I used the entire recommended package. When mounted close together, my car ran also but it did not run clean and was down on power. You have the high voltage spike from the coil interfering with the low voltage trigger pulse. As always ymmv.
But the ecu runs like a scalded dog as high as I cared to rev my motor.
Great throttle response.

I do not disagree with the MOPAR recomendations.

Just sharing my expierence with the Gold ECU and still believe it is a good unit. Like I said it was run without the recommended equipment and never failed me.
