Where the heck do you put the pickup and magnet collar on a car with a TF and Dana 60? While trying to set up the drive shaft rpm sensor and pickup, I found that the slip yoke moves a lot more than I thought it would. Up to 3/8+ inch. I don't think it will provide a signal being that far out of line during some of the run. There is no room on the rear, and the slip yoke moves back and forth due to suspension travel, enough to move the magnets out of line with the pickup during launch for sure, and maybe other points of the run. My driveshaft is three inch diameter, and at this point it looks like my only option, if my current setup fails to work, is to mount magnets on the driveshaft tube and put the sensor bracket on the ladderbar beside it. Anybody else have a better solution? will post pics in a few minutes

I put it on the rear end... the circle part mount yoke and the pick up mounts on the diff housing..that way there is no change in angle as the drive shaft moves up and down... if you have the holes for a snubber the pick up bolts right on

I see another possibility, using your idea. I could drill a collar from RPM to bolt up where the governor is, and weld on a boss for the standard RPM sensor. Slick!

Looks good, Mike. At this point, I am waiting for the right guy to get back from lunch at RPM to help with this. From the examples so far, the easiest solution would be a double collar where I have it now, next easiest would be put it in the tailshaft where the governor bolts up and weld a boss on it. If I need to go to the rear , I will need both a collar and a new cable.

Not a great pic , but with help from a guy I work with that owns a lathe we came up with this on our 66 . The sensor bolts on where the snubber goes. Hopefully when we get the motor in the car here shortly this will all work the way it's supposed too.

It's a Torqueflight, cant you just bolt in a factory vss? Or do you have an aftermarket output shaft? Does your logger accept mag sensors, or only digital? Factory vss is mag.
Also want to note here that I wont do another T/F without adding in that bung at the park wheel... Awesome idea.
