External Crank Trigger

looks nice. i was thinkin about welding a bracket on the back mount to bring the cps down below the frame rail instead of beating the shit out of it.

Here is an update... I got the first wheel and it fits with the FFP pully perfect!



the trigger wheel is backwards in that pic but overall it fits great. I need to shave a little bit off of the legs of the CPS side to line the sensor up with the wheel but that's cake.

More pics of it before install..

LoL...i still need to start my headers...

basically the car is going to be restored to look like it did in 88...but with a 3500 in it..

Any updates for a redesign for J-bodies and use with the FFP?

Not yet.. hopefully soon. I'll be starting final assembly next week!

would it be possible for me to get just the reluctor wheel with a small(1/8"?) hole drilled in the exact center for a cusom application so i could finish the machining here for my engine (DIS on an inline 6)

icky dave! Looks like i get to have some fun in a couple weeks making that thing fit!!

Get a BIG hammer.. my 10lb sledge had a hard time.. 20lb should do the trick


or a plasma cutter

ok, with the rear mount int he exact location it was int he previous pic... the engine actually fits but then i ran into another problem.



the TCE setup was dead against the body of the car. So after some work with my angle grinder and a BFH i made some clearance. I still need to make a little more but with solid mounts i'm not going to worry about it much more.

[Superdave]

Maybe a custom mount would work then? It would work for all 87-94 J bodies correct?

5 speed ones.. the auto ones have a slightly different mount. Different part number atleast...

I'll get more pics up asap.

Yah, i haven't touched the legs. It lines up perfect with my UDP so....


It's only 1/8" difference so i'm sure you'll have to modify that mount similar to what i did.

Mine still isn't enough to clear, I'm going to bring it to work and make some adjustments with the plasma cutter and test fit it again this week. I still need to weld that rear mount solid. I'll be cutting it close and i can't afford any engine movement.. lol

hey Dave. is that issue happen when using the TCE trigger with unmodified legs? when using the stock dampner the legs will have to be trimmed to get it to line up, I think that will let it clear the mount.

crap eh. u think u could get a few more pics for me dave. u could even pm them to me on v6. is there anyways to use a universal external sencer

[Superdave]

here is a quick pic. I snuck out to the garage earlier and made some sparks fly...




i might bend it up a little more but right now it's dead on with a hole in the subframe that i can use to run a bolt through.
