Since quite a few people were interested in crank fire and aftermarket FI system I finally finished up my crank position sensor setup. So if you want to run distributor-less ignition or modern FI, this setup is the ONLY setup built specifically to bolt onto a Type 4.
It's a complete bolt on upgrade, which means no drilling or modifying any parts to make this work. Only the cooling fan needs to be removed to complete the installation. This setup is great for modern FI system, which need a 'trigger signal'. Fuel only setups usually get their signal from the coil firing, but that signal is DIRTY and unreliable. This crank fire setup is smooth and clean. You can't beat it. There is no other setup built specifically for our motors. Quick easy installation with no headaches. Complete package price is $175 and includes the trigger wheel, the sensor, and the mounting bracket. You won't need to go searching for anything else. Attached image(s) |

With the 36-1 trigger wheel, the missing tooth indicates TDC. Tooth #10( in this case)indicates10* BTDC and fires cyl.#1
When mounting the trigger wheel, the engine must be brought to TDC.(just like installing a dizzy.) It does not matter where the sensor is mounted Or where the missing tooth is placed, as long as the sensor points to a certain tooth on the wheel( #10 I think) form the missing tooth in the rotation of the engine When you configure the programming in the software there is a decoder program which is configured for a 4 cyl.(simple to do) Everytime the sensor senses the missing tooth the computer know to start a new cycle. I have my sensor mounted to the fan shroud at about the 10 o clock posistion where Mark has his at about 8 o clock |
