This same idea would work for some of the other controllers. I could mount a small 60-2 wheel for the plate and use the appropriate pickups. This would work with the Electromotive TECs I've been researching.

NOPE that won't work. It would need to be a 120(-4) tooth wheel.

MSD offers a universal crank trigger wheel that can have two pickups installed for your 6214 application. It seems to me that this would be the way to go. You would just need to fabricate a ring to hold the pickups.

I think the MSD 8640 is a better buy. The wheel is already set up for my balancer (SBF). The bracket won't fit but it would need fabrication on either. The pricing is $15 less with less work.

That would be a better deal. I was not sure that the damper was the same as any thing else.

I would still make the pickup holder as a ring, so you could change both pickup positions at the same time without having to retime them to each other.

I also posted about this on my Mechanical or EFI injection thread.

I have decided to use the Holley HP EFI unit. It includes ignition. All the engine management gets bundled into one package. My application will eliminate the distributor. The motor will use a 60-2 crank wheel for triggering.

I do have a couple options for ignition using that system. I can run a wasted spark system (DIS) or a coil per cylinder system. I could get by without a cam position sensor with the wasted spark, but I would also not have sequential injector firing then.

I picked up a LS truck "round" coil pack last night at the recyclers. I can fire 2 coils at once with the wasted spark, or individually if I install the cam position sensor.
