Had my shoulder surgery done last week, didn't get a chance to do the Calais trans service as the weather didn't cooperate
Now that I have some time on my hands and the pain killer haze has subsided a little bit I've had some time to think about all the projects and bits that need to go on cars. One that I started on some time ago but never completed was an LS style coil on plug ignition system conversion on the Senator using VL400's ingenious stand alone ignition box. The first thing that needs sorting out whilst all the bits are on the bench is setting up a new crank trigger. This is what I have to work with, I was thinking off getting a 165mm 36-1 trigger wheel and mounting it between the AC alloy V belt pulley and the hub for the gilmer drive by machining the back of the hub down to sandwich it in between. Then I think I can make a sensor mount located off the 2 bolts on the side of the timing cover where the mechanical fuel pump was originally bolted on the older 308's. The only issue I see is that the sensor will be directly underneath the AC belt and should it ever throw a belt it might damage the sensor or loom?
