I got one of those new Mopar Electronic Ignition conversion kits that comes with the orange ECU. I've always heard that this ECU is crap, so I'm trying to find the best one out there to replace it with. All is going into a '68 Imperial, if that matters...
 
If the orange box is one of the units made in China, the plug is usually different so that no other box will fit properly. You would probably be better off scavenging a used factory unit with cables and distributor from a '73 and up mopar at a wrecking yard. Those were highly reliable. The chi-com distributors are also a POS.

The Orange boxes I've seen were made in the states. Of course that may have changed.
We have a member here who has NOS ECUs for sale.
 
@halifaxhops has some NORS USA made boxes for sale right now. He tests each one before he sends it out. Buy 2, they won't be available forever.
