Default MSD 6010 ignition unit query

i'm going to swap my fixed edelbrock/msd timing box for my ls1 to the pro-data version 6010 msd box so i can fine tune the timing to suit my install.

anyone know which loom part no i need to go with the msd 6010 box please?
there seems to be 2 listed along with the 6010box on both summit and Scoggins websites. i need to plug into the stock coil packs and cam/crank sensors.

my current (basic) fixed timing box is the 6 pill unit and came with its own loom built onto the box, which plugs directly into all the right sensors on the engine, but the 6010 is shown supplied without a loom?

i'm running a GM performance inlet manifold and have mounted the original timing box on a bracket off the inlet manifold.

You just order the 6010. It comes with all the wiring you need. The other harnesses are if you want to use the 6010 box with the stock pcm for fueling or to use the box as a two-step

msd has 2 other looms, i think one is shorter if manifold mounted, the other is for fuel inj. if you want to convert later-just order the box and the loom that comes with it will work fine, it has about a 3' tail on it, so i mountd mine inside the car, under the dash

hey thats great, saved me ordering something else i didnt need, much appreciated.
i'm going to offer the edelbrock unit for sale on here as its no use on our UK fuel without it being adjustable, unless using pill no1, even then it pinks a little above 5k revs.
cheers
