As far as a GM style plug I am guessing he means for the same wire we are speaking of and a tach lead. They are readily available from Summit, NAPA etc...
Thanks, Tommy Got the wires ready to go from NAPA today- comes as a set, ignition switch and tach.

Anyone have opinions on plug gapping with the 50K volts this unit has and an Accel 496 plug?
