I figured someone has tried to locate the wheel on the end of the crank sitting out in front of the fan instead of behind it.
Yea? Nea? Ideally, it would have to be balanced perfectly (along with the rest of the rotating assembly) and have to be made as light as possible. This way the sensor could be mounted on a bracket on the outside of the fan housing. The alt. belt could be a hassle to replace, but if the bracket is designed correctly, it can be removed and replaced without messing up the alignment with the crank wheel sensor. Attached image(s) |

I was concerned about 2 things heat and possibly burning unburned fuel in the exhaust. I didn't know if that would happen so I thought I would like to try to waste that extra spark somewhere else. That turned into a big clusterf**k of wires in my garage that didn't accomplish anything. So, I'll try wasted spark. Every once in a while I like to take a flyer, something different. Never tried to get mules to reproduce though. On to something else. Hoe are youguys going to plug the hole for the dizzy? Are you going to remove the part of the shaft that engages the cam gear? Can you do that without splitting the case? Dave |
