Need help with Electronic Ignition
I had an orange box about a month after installing it start to go bad. The car became very hard to start and finally wouldn't run at all. I have jeard lots of stories about the orange ECU's not having the same level of QC as stock ignition parts.
If you feel you really need the higher rpm capability of the Orange ecu I would suggest ordering the hi-output ecu from Standard.
Joe, have you checked to make sure the mechanical advance mechanisom inside the electronic distibutor is not hanging up? Also make sure you have a full 12v source powering the ecu, it should be powerd off the coil side of the ballast resistor. This seems to be a common mistake people make wiring these up.
