Wally,
Would be helpful if you could include the Ford part numbers and the year and type of vehicle they are used in.


> A 4 pin HEI module will trigger from a Ford crank sensor directly and drive the onan coil just fine. Points are a backup.

Crank sensor was from a mid 90's Ford Escort with a 1.9 engine. Standard products PC-19 looks like it. I think any of the EDIS equipped Ford's sensor would work, this style was easy to mount. If you get a seasoned part from the men's mall you can grab the connector too. Lots of Escorts in the bone yard.
