#1 Not a dizzy anymore

Post by lowact » Sat Sep 14, 2019 12:19 pm

Here is pic of my stripped down repurposed Opus disributor, alongside an original for size comparison. Is now a cam angle sensor, comprsing 2.5" 36-1 trigger-wheel and Honeywell SNDH-H3P-G01 sensor, for fully sequential efi & direct fire ignition. Haven't tried it yet, the lairy green cap is the 3d printed plastic prototype, final, will be aluminium, either CNC machined or 3d printed.

Is as compact as possible to leave plenty of room for ignition coils on each spark plug.

The coils are GM spec 19005218, 40kV, built-in drivers, they fit very tidily between the injectors.
