I am interested in this crank trigger for my rb duster,

I am suspecting the timing wheel changes the crankshaft pulley alignments with other accessories therefore some type of spacers may be needed??? or is everything in the kit i will have?

thanks for all the feedback ...

The addition of the crank trigger wheel will push your crank pulley/drive mandrel out the thickness of the wheel. If you have an electric water pump and are just running an alternator and/or vacuum pump, it shouldn't be a big deal to change the spacing. Unless you're running a factory alternator and bracket...that could be a pain.

Thats what I kind of suspected.

is there or will there be a clearance issue with a passenger side water pump lower outlet with the magnetic pickup


Thank you

The pickup will have to be mounted on the driver's side in that case. There's a member here who sent me a pic of his done that way a while back...can't remember his screen name right now.

that's exactly what I'm wondering should I order a driver side water pump lower outletfor simplicity sake and put the pic up on the passenger side

if you come up with that mopart member name with the driver side pick up mount that'd be great.

thanks again

It really just depends on which parts you have. Most guys with crank triggers are running electric water pumps. Some use an alternator so you'll need a pulley for that. A motor plate will also change the spacing required. Look at my website for some ideas. I usually run a motor plate with an electric water pump and a crank trigger on my stuff. No problem with a passenger side inlet on the water pump but your mileage may vary.

Yep, thats mine. I moved the pick to the drivers side to mount a alternator low on the passengers side. The MSD bracket will mount on either side (marked on both sides). Even with the remote oil filter, theres plenty of room.
Good luck with yours,
Brian

That's nice to know the pickup will work either side
