The adapter board is stuffed into a stock ECU case. We have a write up of it here:

Or you could use a DIYBOB - it's a GM connector on a breakout circuit board that would let you make an adapter harness.

The DIYBOB contains a circuit board that you solder the wiring connector to, and then there's two sets of holes with the pin numbers marked on them. You'd take a short wiring harness with a MegaSquirt connector on one end and solder it to the holes that match up with the MegaSquirt functions.
