Derek Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Alright here's the deal. I did a few hubs for three members to get a feel for it before proceeding. Here's the prices Everything includes the required bolts. Sensor mount $48.00 Ford Coil bracket $25.00 Hub 85.00 Laser cut 36-1 trigger wheel... That depends. If I buy 4 from the laser cutter it's $50.00 each. If I buy 8 it comes down to $30.00 each. IF I can get 4 people to commit to hubs and trigger wheels I'll buy 8 and hope to sell the rest over time. If someone wants to send me a dodge coil I'll make a bracket for the same price. So there's no confusion this is for a damper with 2 pulleys only. I offered to machine the escort wheels for the three people that bought the hubs for $15.00 each. The bottom line on that is It's going to be cheaper in the long run to just use the laser cut wheels. The escort wheels are all (so far) slightly different and one was bent pretty badly. So we need 4 brave souls to buy hubs and wheels so I can order 8 and get the price within reason. Let me know Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearheadstik Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'm in on a trigger mount, hub, and laser cut wheel..... Let me know when you need the funds...Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 For that price this is very tempting... I'll PM you when I get back into town. I've got my car running on EDIS with a DIY trigger wheel bolted on, and a crappy welded VR bracket... so this might be a nice upgrade.

clint78z Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I am in for everything including the trigger wheel, looks like a great package at a fair price. Have you considering offering the option for mounting the dodge coil pack?? Some people don't wan to run the strange FORD wires, although the ends do look like the would do a better job.

clint78z Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I will measure a dodge coilpack with the calipers, and take some pics to verify I did it accurately. I have to go out to the farm to get it, might take a bit. Cheers, Clint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need the pack itself so that I can make sure the offset on the standoffs is correct. Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Alright. I have the order placed with the laser cutter and according to him "it should probably maybe be done this week I'm pretty sure" Talk about being ambiguous! I have may car ripped apart for the intake install and decided to pull the EDIS hub off of the damper. One thing that occurred to me is the 1/4-20 bolts that I had in there aren't really necessary for the function of the hub adapter. They are merely there as an index so that you can remove the hub after the car has been timed and reinstall it in the same place. Certainly the torque of the crank bolt will keep the hub from spinning. This allowed me to make a change on the hub and 36-1 wheel that I think is a real plus. Here's a layout of what's going to happen The design change is going from washers clamping the escort wheel in position to the laser cut wheel being slotted for adjustment. This is a much superior method of attachment. There really needs to be very little adjustment being as we're all using the same mounting point for the sensor. This is how my setup is laid out. If the relationship between the timing mark on the damper and the 1/4-20 holes in the damper hub are all the same then this will greatly simplify the installation. So if you guys can look at your dampers and see if they are drilled the same as mine or not and let me know it will help out a lot. The bottom line is the 1/4-20 holes are not a make or break deal they just help with the ease of installation. Also can you measure your crank bolt length. I'd like to supply a longer bolt with the hub to make up for the added thickness of adapter. Mine has a very thick washer and it looks like a 40mm is probably going to do the trick Thanks Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Here is a picture of my damper. This picture was taken as if you are looking towards the front of the engine. The screw driver marks the TDC timing mark. I have two of these and they are exactly the same. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbit Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Here is a picture of my damper. For the record it came off a 1975 280Z. Also, my crank bolt measures 47mm. The washer is 8mm. See attachments. Thanks-Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I need the length of the threaded area of the crank bolt. Thanks Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbit Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 So there is a timing mark on the damper or is this the timing mark you see on the engine when the damper is installed? I'll measure the threaded part of the bolt when I get home from work. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
