What ignition system are y'all using?

The Mopar orange box doesn't have any rev limiting features - unless you consider "becoming unusable at higher RPM" to be a feature. ;) The Rev-n-ator does have a limiter and looks a lot like the orange box (unless you buy a black one).

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

Yep.  Replaced the orange box that I was using, since everyone was bashing them so much, didn't want to take the chance of getting stranded.  Still might happen with this box, but at least its made in the USA, has a 3 year warranty. 

I don't notice any 'performance' degredation from the orange box.  I think it lacks the built in rev-limiting the orange box has.  I was looking to get away from that.   :scratchchin:

I don't think the MP orange box has rev limiting, that is one of the reasons many people are so keen on the rev n nator.  How long have you been running the SMP box?

Hmm.  Good to know, everyone.   

Thought somewhere I read that it did, and that it kinda messed up the total timing calculations at high rev.  Must be thinking of a different box.

I've had the standard box in now for about a month is all.  I mounted it inside the cabin under the steering column.

I remember now...the orange box pulls out timing at higher revs...THAT'S what it was.

I had the same problems with striped out holes in the firewall so I put nutserts in and problems are gone.

Nutsert...

Great idea!  I was looking for something like this but didn't find anything and had never heard of these.  Likely will be done this weekend.  Thanks for the advice!

those are the same kind of nuts used on 70 E bodies, and I think 71/72 E and B bodies too, to the door side mirrors. Diff size of course

I used the MSD-6A ignition with a Chrysler Electronic distrubutor as the trigger. I may change out and use an original Prestolite dual=point with an Pertronix Ignitor I or II as the trigger.
