I noticed that the notes for the MPI kit that Mopar Performance has for the 390 hp crate motor (pn P5153731) notes that a flex plate P4876706, a Magnum flywheel, or a DUAL TRIGGER DISTRIBUTOR is required.

My assumption is that with a dual trigger, the distibutor could be made to read the crank position for the computer. Don't know what (if anything) would need to be done to make it work, though. If possible, it would remove the need to figure out the crank position sensor on the back of my flywheel.

Anyone know anything about this?

I know the balance is different, so no need to point that out.

Had some contact with a Mopar engineer through Rick Ehrenburg and it was a special distributor, not a factory dual pickup distributor.

So, no-go on that possiblity.
