The box I used was the newest version, at least as of the last couple of years. I jumpered the ballast by replacing the resistor in the ceramic by an 10 gage wire. The distributor is a 1973 Mopar electronic ignition unit that I recurved and limited the advance on by using one of the FBO limiter plates. I mounted the ECU behind my front passenger headlight, to keep it away from heat and have the engine compartment continue to look stock.
I can’t speak to others’ issues. For me, the experience has been really positive. The difference between the FBO and other standard ECU’s is “seat of the pants” real.
