The tooth count is relevant to your system & the wheel dia is relevant to where you can mount the sensor amongst any other stuff you're driving off the front. You'll need an alternator to have enough voltage for the system. Wheel thickness no less than 1/8".

   Couldn't find one for a Buick straight 8 either, so we just got one for a Chevy small block and made it fit.

36-1 trigger wheels are common: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=36-1+wheel&_osacat=6000&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.X36-1+trigger+wheel.TRS0&_nkw=36-1+trigger+wheel&_sacat=6000

Your electronics may require something else.

Mike

Thanks all. I know what I need now. Something around 8" OD and 1/8" thick with 36/1 tooth count. I'm told we're running a Fueltech FT500 ECU.
I'll need to check with Nassen the turbo guy on what wheel would be best suited to the application. :cheers:

Insomnia!!!!. Looks like we went straight to summer again. No Spring like last year.
Too hot to sleep. :-o
Got a bunch of stuff at the engineer. I called about the progress and Geraldo said he'd call me
when the work is done. Looks like a fat bill coming but I'm ready this time. No running out of ammo this time. :-D

Need to get the energy levels up and start welding early. My helmet is painted and back after 6 months.
Not overly impressed but it is sound and very different. Let the airbrush guy loose and you take what you get I guess.

I thought he might be a little obscure with that. Howard Carter discovered King Tut's tomb.  :cheers:

I know that but with Jerry's sense of humor I expected him to say one Carter spent years trying to get in and the other trying to get out!!!!.
We'll wait and see what he comes up with?. :-D :-D :-D :-D
