I have a MP electronic Ignition kit and I am getting ready to install it with a Evans Wiring engine harness made for a electronic ignition. The harness has the plug for the ECU and also a plug for a Voltage Regulator The MP instructions do not show a diagram or need for a voltage reg....Other than being mentioned in helpful suggestions for race applications only.... I don't mind running one just want to make sure it is OK to.. Also, will the ballast resistor that comes with a Orange box work with a Chrome ECU... Thanks, 1970 R/T Challenger 4-speed 1971 Demon 340 3-speed

Only wire what links them is the ign switch source ( blue wire ) With a Charger born in Chrysler assembly plant in Valencia, Venezuela

If this is a triangle shaped plug get a stock '70 up stock flat VR and you're set. Yes same ballast (1.25 ohm) for orange and chrome ecu's and I'd highly suggest the chrome box. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

If on the street yes you need a charging system but there are many race cars that run without one. So the "NEED" is relative to the application and usage.
