Crank trigger?

[331efiblue66]

Do the 94/5 5.0's use a crank trigger on the factory dampener?

 

[BlackVert]

no. in our cars, crank position info comes from the PIP in the distributor

 

[331efiblue66]

Well crap...thanks anyhow. Have to look elsewhere for the answer.

 

[BlackVert]

um, was there another question there that i didn't see?

i wish ours did have that setup. the EDIS system is better than ours with the distributors.

if you want to go EDIS or something, it has been done, even with our years ....

explorers from the mid-90s (i forget the exact years) have 5.0 motors with the crank trigger setup, or you can but one off ebay for like $20.

No, you didn't miss it, it didn't post it.

I bought a worn out 96 f150 w/5.0&4r70w so I could rob it of its computer, harness, trans, aluminum driveshaft, and fead setup to use in my 66 stang. It has a crank trigger wheel pressed onto the back of the dampener. My 331 stroker kit is a 28oz imbalance, so the 50oz stock dampener w/crank trigger can't be used. Trying to figure out if I am going to be able to use a aftermarket crank trigger to keep the ecu happy, and if they will speek the same language....

some guys take the 50oz balancer and a 28oz balancer to a machine shop and have the tone ring swapped over.

i am like 95% sure all crank trigger wheels have 36 teeth with one missing. and the aftermarket ones are zero balance, so you should be able to bolt them to your crank pulley

 

[331efiblue66]

Hmm, may have to set both dampeners side by side and take some measurements to check feasability of installing factory wheel on prof prod dampener. This crank trigger is inductive pickup, it only has 4 fingers. FAST has a unit that is 1/8" thick, and 4 "bumps" on it that is inductive pickup for under $220. May check a little closer into using this unit. Thanks for the link and your input.

I run a crank trigger, maybe i missed it what ign box and cpu do you run?

 

[331efiblue66]

Wasn't gonna run an ignition "box", just a '96 f150 5.0 eecV ecm (box code a??3), sniper (delta force) tuning software, msd pro billet dist, and blaster tfi coil w/ford racing 9mm wires.

 

[BlackVert]

i'm thinking about going to a crank trigger setup on my 390 for the fairlane. there are a couple people who make stand alone ignition controllers for such a setup.

chris, do you have a stand alone ignition controller, or is it built into your EEC?

 

[4Jenna]

Hmm not sure I can help much. I run the MSD flying magnent, and it can go striaght to a msd box or in my case mine is wired directly into my cpu (BS3)

 

[4Jenna]

Mine is wired into my standalone

Innovators West also make harmonic balancers with the crank trigger built in so you dont have to worry about the spacing of the pullies, etc

 

[331efiblue66]

Thanks anyhow Rick, those things are $700, and the pickup sensor is not included, I don't think so...
