Not the 8477 distributor. Per MSD's website:
"These distributors require the use of a separate ignition box, such as an MSD 6, 7, 8, or 10 Series ignition."

If you don't want a CD ignition, you need another way to fire the coil since that distributor doesn't have an ignition module.

(I've got a CB Performance Black Box that I am planning on installing. It will take the magnetic pickup from the distributor and output to the coil or the 6AL. That way if my 6AL box dies on me, I can switch two wires and keep going. I just haven't installed it yet. )
