I tend to think there is another problem that cooked the box. I've gone hundreds of thousands of miles on Mopar orange box ignitions without a problem. At least 100k on one converted car and 30K on another. Chris' suggestions are good, but I doubt engine heat could have cooked it if it were on there for 6 years. It's always good to carry spares, but I just have a ballast resistor, not an extra control box or complete distributor.
