Default New LS364 ignition system problems!

I just purchased the new GM grate motor LS364. This is brand new for this year and is of the LS family. It is designed for pre-1977 vehicles. Basically it is a IV Generation LS2 that is carbeurated. I am installing the motor in a 1967 camaro and I am now running into ignition system problems. GM recommended an after market ignition system that was compatable with a 58X reluctor wheel and the new cam sensing. Of course they did not provide any resources. If anybody has any suggestions or helpful hints it would be greatly appreciated.

GMPP sells one (made by MSD) and obviously MSD makes one. They were designed for the LS1s, I think they work with the LS2s, but Im not positive.

Jegs and Summit sell the MSD, Im sure SDPC can get the GMPP. I would call MSD and ask them.

I tried MSD already. I spoke to one of the techs and I was told that they are currently working on a module for the 58X reluctor wheel. This motor is a Gen IV and only equipment they have is for Gen III. No luck with MSD.

I'm really interested in the LS364/440 crate motor also, but I didn't know the ignition was an issue (I thought the Edelbrock or MSD ignition control boxes worked with this engine). I'm a newbie to all this, but what's the relationship between these ignition controllers and the different reluctor wheels (58x vs. 24x)?
