My orange box is against the firewall along with the ballast resistor and the coil is mounted on top of the intake as stock. I have an (Accel coil yellow super stock) are they junk too? It seems to me the heat is affecting something? I have heard some people running the chrome box but why? It runs great to start but starts running like the timing is off? Is there any way to test any of these mentioned components? Thanks, Jay
