Cam sensor can be a MSD PN 2346 which is a non-magnetic sensor that comes with magnet and isolator ring if it has to be installed in a steel gear or sprocket. The magnet direction North or South is marked and makes a difference I think they offer a Hall Effect sensor also but I don't have that PN. I don't know how many trigger points you need to calculate crank angle. You can possibly use a MSD PN 8655 universal crank trigger kit and add magnets as needed or fabricate a external reluctor wheel similar to the LS based stuff which is either 24X or 58X. Someone may offer a external kit but I have never looked for one. You may PM Erroll (spelling?) On here as I think the Pro EFI uses a setup like this and he may point you in the right direction. Hope this helps.

 

you need a minimum of 4 on the crank to work with the haltech, but 12 would be better, with 12 you select 24-1 and away you go, you can also use 36-1, 60-2 etc..

I usually just use a laser cut wheels or a special modded dizzy like this

with a cap like this

Do you sell reluctor wheels for sbc to suit the ps 2000? As I would be interested in one

 

This exactly what I'm wanting for my halt each ps2000 for my sbc

 

I found this place
http://www.eficonnection.com/eficonnection/default.aspx
They do 58x or 24x conversions for older sbc
You can buy a kit or buy separate parts, ie reluctor wheels and pickup dizzy
A lot cheaper than efi hardware

 

Thanks for the tips yall...

Hopefully I wont have to pull apart my freshly assembled engine to fix this problem.

This is my first EFI and turbo build so I'm on a steep learning curve.

I't seems Hall effect pick ups are superior to one that generates a sine wave , so that's what I'll try to get.

MSD has some stuff that may well work including;

and

http://www.msdignition.com/product.aspx?id=6577&terms=8655

Although neither mentions whether it is Hall effect.

And an inductive one

This would be the way to go, but not available for @ another month.


WITH 1x CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IN TIMING COVER

New billet aluminum timing covers in production. Estimated availability by 10/15/2013.
24x SBC Conversion Hardwarecoming soon...

 

your over thinking it.. just get the wheel off NitrousSBC383 and use the plug in the old dizzy hole and away you go,

the PS2000 works perfectly on magnetic or hall effect so its a non issue what pickups you use

 

Factory mid '90s Vortec distributors have a one tooth trigger wheel in them. They can be the easy button for a cam sync if you're putting a crank trigger on there.

 

i use and sell these for sbc and use a vortec dist as a cam sensor

 

How much are these and what does each part do?
Thanks

 

If its not for spark. Just Control it with a AEM cam plug with both HALL cam/crank sensors.

 

It's not for spark. Fuel only.

Do you have a link for what you're talking about.
I cant find anything.

 

You could use the Holley trigger wheel and pickup.

Would I need a
1x cam sync
http://www.eficonnection.com/eficonnection/ItemDetails.aspx?ItemId=623
Or a
4x cam sync
http://www.eficonnection.com/eficonnection/ItemDetails.aspx?ItemId=624

 

I learnt that hall effect pickups have 3 wires, and Haltech tells me I need a single magnet for the cam and four for the crank.

I found crane has a hall effect crank trigger that fits the bill.

Google found this little beauty to tap into my timing cover and pickup off the permanent magnet I'll need to embed into the cam sprocket.

Here's my setup big stuff 24x big stuff crank trigger Msd Hall effect

 

Have you already run an engine on the BS3 with the 24X setup??

 

the wheel bolts up in between the balancer and pulley its fully adjustable. comes with alternator and water pump pulley spacers to get the correct alignment of nelts... comes with sensor bracket uses a 1991 ford 1.9L escort crank sensor that can be bought at any part store for 20-30$ .
what you see in the pic is 180shipped

 

vortec dist doesnt have to be ran with a cap if ur using cam and crank sensor why not run coil on plug?

 

Yeah that's what I want to do, one of the options in the haltech is to setup like a ls engine.

Can it except ano other sensors, chev ls etc as I will find it hard to find that sensor here in australia

 

if your just trying to use 1 coil set up an efi u dont need a cam or crank sensor.. all u need is a distributor signal with 4 teeth in a full engine cycle the computer will see 8teeth signals

 

Does the cam pickup need to be in phase ?
If so, with what?

 

Is there any reason why a hall effect sensor would not work on an msd wheel?

Could I not also fit the cam pickup on the belt drive pump pulley?

 

Holley sells a direct replacement for a MSD crank trigger. Holley part number 554-118.

 

If your normal distributor Place is free. http://www.summitracing.com/dom/parts/avm-30-3251

 

Bill this thread is 8yrs old. Depending on what system you are running there are several better options available now. I have been very pleased with the Innovators West 12 magnet crank triggers. They sell it with or without an inductive pickup but I usually run a Hall Effect sensor that I source from Haltech or MSD. Hope this helps.

 

Yes, well aware of the date,as well as whats currently available on the market from msd, innovaters west, Holley, and others. I am looking for a relatively inexpensive setup for a test rig i have and the piece i asked about would work nicely. thanks for the response though.

 

I too understand the age of this thread, but the site won't let me send a PM yet. I bought a couple of that exact 36-1 wheel/bracket off ebay a few years ago. Works good for me and I'd like to pickup another one if he still makes them.

 

I used to buy wheel blanks and modify them (Oldsmobile application) but now I just draw them in CAD and use SendCutSend to have them cut for me. A bit of deburring and send them out for black oxide or FNC (Melonite) and they are good to go. For onesy-twosy stuff they are much cheaper than my normal local vendors and stupid fast, too They also do bending and tapping so if you can make a sample out of cardboard and know someone with CAD capabilities you can get your own setup made dirt cheap. I'd offer to help with the CAD side of things but my dance card is full right now at the shop.

 

Water jet, or cnc plasma table?

 

yes sir

 

So is the msd 2 wire crank trigger sensor more favorable than the 3 wire sensor? I am setting up my Haltech crank trigger stuff this week. I have both 2 & 3 wire sensors, but only the MSD 4 magnet wheel.

 

i will never use an MSD 2 wire sensor on any car ever again... they are total junk..
use the 3 wire holley sensor on the 4 magnet wheel and you will be fine

 

I have a new MSD 3 wire sensor. Should I return it?

 

MSD part number 8278 3 wire hall effect sensor.
