Some components are constant here... the distributor is the same and so is the fact that you have to round up a propietary connector/wiring either ina junkyard or new (new availability of harness: mopar=yes, HEI=? ) price of ECU vs. HEI module? thats not too different. maybe $20. The *best* ECU for the street is the Orange box. The chrome box and the gold box are race only items. So prices for the two seem to be the same, Mancini sells these for: $20 for the mancini "blue box". $43 for the Orange box. $47 for the Orange box + lightweight dist. springs for a recurve... I don't know anything about the Mancini "blue box", but I bet its as good as the Orange box. So $20 if you like blue, $43 if you like orange. wiring? both the HEI and the ECU have 4 wires coming out of it. 2 go to the distributor, 2 go elsewhere.... its the same right? space/weight savings? even if the HEI is smaller, you still have to dedicate about 3x5" to it somewhere... roughly the same size as an ECU. So what does it come down to? and if the answer is "they are the same, HEI its just an alternative...", well thats fine.
