No. You'll want a modified distributor cap to use the coil, though.

The instructions that come with the coil will have diagrams for installation with and without the ignition controller. It can also be found here:

Here's the SS coil instructions if you haven't yet searched the downloads page provided by the old guy.

Use the blaster coil instructions in addition to this one. The blaster instructions are a bit more informative. They both connect the same way. Just make sure to use the resistor as specified.
