Since you already have a 4-Way trailer wiring harness on your 1992 Chevy S-10 Blazer, you will just need to add a 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7, that you have referenced. This kit includes everything you will need to add a 7-Way and has the wiring to install a brake controller. I have included links to an FAQ article and video that show how to install an ETBC7.

For a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our best selling brake controllers because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included a link to the installation details for it as well.
