FunJam Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hello! I'm building a 360 LA-engine for my Ramcharger. Plan is to use it also in off-roading in the future, so I would like to get crank sensor in a safe place. So, I am planning to weld 36-1 trigger wheel in shortened fuel pump drivewheel (in camshaft) and cut 1 tooth off 180 degree from missing tooth, and set it up as 18-1 missing tooth wheel. This should work? Problem is that there is no room for cam sensor (waterpump over camchain housing) , so is it possible to use knock sensor? I think this has been done, but I don't know if it has been done in inline engine or V8... Oh.. Smartcoil on every cylinder.

Adamw Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 It would be better to leave it as 36-1 on the cam, then it is capable of sequential/direct spark as you have a unique missing tooth every 720deg crank rotation. If you have 2 missing teeth to duplicate 18-1 on crank then you will have to run wasted spark/group injection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunJam Posted February 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 OK. I studied this option earlier, but I could not find any setting for this. Like "trigger on cam" -option. How can I set this up? Jani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koracing Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Have you seen the dual sync distributors from MSD? They have cam and crank signals in a billet distributor for older american V8 applications:https://www.holley.com/products/ignition/distributors/parts/2381 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
