Quote: How does the reluctor and or pick up read? Is it magnetic or infrared or what? If it is magnetic, won't the balancer interfere with it? I don't know the answer and I am not scrutinizing your work, as it looks great! I am just trying to learn from you. thansk for sharing
The crank signal from an LS1 (24x reluctor wheel) is a typical hall effect square wave output. The reluctor uses 2 different width notches (12* and 3*) that are 15* apart.
Reluctors for both the cam and crank in an LS series engine uses the absence or presence of ferrous material (iron or steel) to modulate a magnetic field that is sensed and sent to the PCM in the form of voltage/current changes.
