The finished product is great, a seamless wiring harness! Plus this means I don't have to cut the wires next time I need to get the connector thr...

Thanks for the kind words! I also like perpendicular mounting :) Last time I did something like that was with an optical sensor though. Never really though about it on this engine. As for machines.. No one really makes anything for the cars I'm in to so I've had to make the parts myself. My "ho...

Originally I started out just mounting a standard Ford trigger wheel and the Ford VR sensor: http://www.millersmule.com/Images/Finished%20Parts/mini-DSC00118.JPG This set up used a sensor mount that clamped on t...
