If that is the distributor with the light blue module attached to the lower outside of the housing, then, no, you don't need a "box" for it to work.
I have part number 8460 msd distributor do i need to run a box with this distributor? i have had problems with my 454 chevy motor and am down to a distributor problem as the only thing left causing my problems. I have a thread in gear head forum titled 454 engine help.
Thanks Chris :lightsabe

Yes it does have the blue module attached to the distributor. Would a bad distributor cause the problems i am having like detonation??\
