I already have the Mopar orange ignition in my dart and i was wondering if the MSD 6AL was any better? MSD paired with the blaster 2 coil?

Do you also use the mopar blaster coil?

I went from a stock black box to what I thought was an upgrade orange box......what a piece of sh#t. Put a MSD 6A on with blaste rcoil and no ballast resistor and lived happily ever after.

From what i understand the orange box is the base; good for up to 6000rpm, next is the chrome, that would be your upgrade; good for up to 8000rpm and produces a hotter spark. Mopar also sells a "Super Gold" control unit that is good up to 10000rpm and is mainly for racing applications. http://www.mopar.com/m_perf_subcat2Check.jsp?SubSubSubGrpID=370&dummy8=1163045580814

I run the Mopar Performance conversion kit on both the 440 in my 66 Coronet and on the 318 in my son's 72 Dart, but I ALWAYS upgrade to the Mopar Performance chrome ECU box, as the orange ECU's are NOT very good!

I agree; after using practically all the boxes out there, the orange box is the only one that has ever given me problems. I remember I had it tested when I suspected it, and it tested good, but the car ran like new when I used the chrome box or my back-up stocker (Borg Warner). Go figure...

MSD is the way to go, eleminate the problems and move to the newer technology. Orange ECUs are failure prone especially in high heat situations like a big engine in an A-body.

You can buy the Mallory 6AL cheaper than the MSD piece. only difference is the Mallory is digital and the msd is analog.
