#1 Correct crankshaft damper and pulley?

Before mounting the picture frame I though I mount the trigger wheel and sensor for my upcoming EDIS ignition conversion on the crankshaft but run into some problem.
The kit is from webcon which should fit my car but something is wrong.
The fixed sensor bracket does not align with the trigger wheel and the new studs’ threads is not long enough which make me suspect the damper differs from the expected, since the pulley looks like the correct type shown in webcon’s instruction.
I have a xj6 engine from 71 instead of the original engine, could this be the reason?
I’m just trying to understand what’s wrong.

An XJ6 damper should be the same as a 4.2 E-type damper, apart from the timing marks being in a different place relative to the woodruff key slot.

Hi. I’m searching for the answer to exactly the same problem.. the trigger wheel sensor is some 10mm in front of the trigger wheel instead of being exactly pointing at the teeth on the wheel.. I have a S2 engine, did you find a solution?
