Will new model cam position sensor fit in place of big block distributor

[littlejakedog]

:clonk:Hey I am trying to piece tougeather a fuel injection set-up for a 455 that I have in a serious rock buggy. I am gonna go with a home built megga squirt if I can and am going to run coil on plug ignition and sequential injection so I have to have a cam position sensor to do it. I am wondering if a cam position sensor off a newer mod. turbo V6 is dimensionally the same s the distributors in the old big blocks. Sure would be nice if I could just drop one in and go but if not I am prepared to modify an original distributor. I hope someone knows the answer to this and if anyone wants to talk about the megga squirt or any of its systems I am learning and would love to have a dialogue about it all.

I believe there are people that have done it, although I never figured out how. I've only run a bank-to-bank system, so no cam sensor was necessary.

So I'd say it is possible, but I apologize for not knowing how.

Sounds like a neat project!

It is dimensionally correct, you need to modify the 455 gear to accept the cam sensor drive shaft. I'm doing the same using an Electromotive Tec3r in full sequential and COP.
