The MSD plug and play harness some wire and a momentary button to activate it.

If I get someone over with wiring skills Ill have them hook it up to the radio controls on the factory wheel, or maybe get a new aftermarket wheel with a built in momentary button. Just dont like the zip ties that hold it on now.

Actually there are two part numbers for lt1s. 8876 is for the DUAL connector coil that 92-95 has (i think that's the years) 8877 is for the single connector coil used in the later years.

So no MSD blaster coil is required with this box? Sorry for the dumb questions. I just want to be exactly sure on what I need for something I know little about.

The box stays where its at. Drill a hole in the grant wheel for a momentary button.
