Default Timing Tuner question for LT1

I just got a Horsepower in a Box Timing Tuner to retard for my nitrous so i can run a N/A and N2O tune. My question is.. it says you use the crankshaft postion sensor for the box to detect and retard timing. I am running an MSD distributor in my LT1 Camaro and it does not run off of the crankshaft postion sensor. How am i supposed to wire this up? Thanks

Austin,

The timing tuners aren't going to work in your case since its designed to run off of the crank position sensors on the LS motors.

Becasue you have a LT1 car your only options are to go with an MSD Digital 6 box or the Mallory 685 box.
