First Pete I want to see the car since I think you recently chased after it!! Next question at hand, I have seen some real questionable MP stuff so I would avoid. From time to time good NOS stuff pops up on Ebay.
I highly recommend the Rev an Nator, use it in my Satellite and it works like a champ with their coil. Also it has a rev limiter which would come in handy with a 4 speed missed shift.
I camouflaged it with a Chrysler Electronic sticker and a dry transfer from ECS for the coil. Ron

I also highly recommend the rev-n-ator, however it is pricey and may not be "necessary" in bone stock vehicle. I also agree with rjs in regards to avoiding some of the MP boxes, unfortunately, because I always like sticking with Mopar stuff whenever possible. I bought this box for my '79 Power Wagon from Ehrenberg off Ebay for about $32 ish. Jegs has it too. Made in USA and more reliable than the MP Orange Box. With shipping, I don't know whose is less expensive. https://www.ebay.com/itm/JEGS-40805-HiRev-7500-0174-Ignition-Control-Unit/401591552120?

Btw, rjs, that's a beautiful stock looking 440!!!! Thank you for the compliment but you failed the test!!! It's actually a 400 with a stroker kit and aluminum heads. 512 10.5 compression pumpgas. The headers and 3" exhaust is the real tell-tail! Ron

I have no pictures of the car.im doing some work on the car for the owner who wants some things fixed on it for a prospective buyer that pointed out the previously mentioned issue with the ECU. the car is not advertised it was by word of mouth by a mutual friend.he does not want picture of the car out there in www land OK be like that!!! LOL Also for very correct looking but wrong date I believe Bill Rolik is still selling NOS with I think 71 dates on them. Ron

I've also got a revnator and like it a lot. Don't count on their HP increase claim, but its a solid unit, limiter works fine, and I did notice less pinging which allowed me to up initial timing and get more bottom end that way. Old MP orange box (early 90s unit) lives in the glove box now as a back up.

Two reasons I have found to the backing potting dripping!
