Default MSD HEI Ignition

Looking for some advice or a link to a thread I may have overlooked on installing a MSD 8362 street fire. I've gotten mixed opinions on whether I need the box to go with it. Any pitfalls to avoid during install? Car is a 61 with a 327 in it. Thank you in advance for everyone's help

No box needed. This unit is made in china if you care. You might consider a rebuilt ac delco hei or just rebuild/recurve your points distributor. Msd street fire hei's have had some problems with ignition module failures.
