Side note:
If retrofitting a 5.0 (or probably any other OEM system) make sure to integrate the Vehicle Speed Sensor as the EEC uses info from that for saving fuel and also for a good idle when coasting to a stop. This is described in the Pantera link I posted earler.



Hmm, it looks like this would go inline with the speedo cable and generate the pulses to the ECU.

I'm not worried about matching the pulses/mile exactly; I believe it mainly needs to know when it's moving and when it's not.

Re: making a wheel
Those ideas sound a lot more feasible. They did mention they'd like to see a sample wheel to get a better idea about it.

What mopar distributor did you find that has a similar wheel & sensor?

My car (88 Subaru) uses a flat disc with an optical sensor. I'd need to study the Ford wiring diagrams, but a signal is a signal; it doesn't matter if it came from a hall sensor or an optical sensor as long as the waveform is the same. May be able to find an even easier solution using a flat disc.


If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
