Xnke Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 So this isn't for an L-series engine, but instead for a gear-timed, cam-in-block engine that drives the distributor from the midpoint of the cam. I can replace the distributor with a cam sensor from a more modern engine, direct drop in fit, that will provide a 12-1 signal. But, if I install an adjustable cam gear, this would tend to move not only cam phasing, but trigger phasing as well, requiring me to re-set the ignition timing and injection timing as well, correct?

seattlejester Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 That makes sense to me. I believe you would only have to change the tooth # 1 angle value and the rest would be kept the same just the reference value would be switched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winstonusmc Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 If you used a crank sensor and a cam trigger, you wouldnt have to everytime. The cam trigger will set the phase and the missing tooth on the crank will set the actual timing. As long as the cam trigger was always before the missing tooth after all adjusting of said cam gear.
