I have been considering using the existing crank angle sensor
mount location of a 87 13B as an oil fill/dipstick location for
my single rotor engine. I planned on going to the new crank angle
sensor plate and sensors by the front pulley but I haven't been
able to find any of the details required to use them.

Can someone direct me to the details of the new setup ? Are the
sensor plate and pulley a single part ? How are the sensors
mounted ? Is such a scheme feasible using my existing front
cover or do I need to get a later model ? I can't see enough detail
in the manuals on the ACRE mirror site.

What a great idea Fred. I was going to cut that off and weld it
up and use a e-shaft trigger. I needed a dip stick location as
my intercooler and intake manifold prevents me from using the stock
location. great place to put oil in the engine too.

Best place for the ignition trigger is on the flexplate.
Lots of ways of doing it. You could just magnetically sense the teeth
on the ring gear if you had another sensor for TDC.

Fred,
The 93+ engines use two magnetic trigger coils mounted on 2 studs with a
plate holding them in position on the front cover at the 4'oclock
position. They are triggered by an eccentric pulley hub that has two
protrusions on it.
