12200411 - A Few General Questions

[dave w]

Elm,
There will soon be a SBC / BBC distributor (small cap point style) that has both the '0411 4x crank sensor and the cam sensor. It will Not have provisions for the mechanical tachometer. The above mentioned distributor is patented! Pricing has not been determined. The first production run is scheduled in early 2014. Production runs are currently being quoted.

Dave,
Will this be a dual pickup distributor (4x and 1x sensors)? Will this be an EFIConnection item?
Sounds like a great idea but unless they sell the components individually, it still won't help with my specific application.
As stubborn as it sounds, I am not giving up my mechanical tach drive.
lol

The distributor I've mentioned Is Not a product to / from EFI Connections. The distributor is dual pickup, using two individual factory sensors. At this point in time, I can Not reveal who's distributor it is. Mechanical drive is PO$$IBLE, but your not going to like the price! At this point in time, I Can Not post screen shots of the CAD drawings.

Ahh. Cloak and Dagger stuff.. love it.
Any ballpark on when this product will be GA?

It looks like the VSS provision that Keisler has on their SS700 trans is for the Ford style analog VSS.
I'm guessing that it will in NO way be compatible with the 12200411 PCM?
If not, I will need to research my options for an in-line VSS with the stock cable-
The problem is that the SS700 doesn't use the threaded GM style speedometer gear adapter (it's just a fitting with an o-ring that is held in place with a clamp like a distributor) so I may need to do some digging...

JTR offers a drive shaft mounted VSS http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Par...ctor-Diff.html

Pics below show a custom built VSS assembly, similar to the JTR part.

Nice hardware but seems a bit more complicated than I need to just get a speed signal?
I see that Dakota Digital makes a model SEN-01-2 VSS that fits Ford (and my SS700) that is an 8K pulse generator-
Can the 12200411 be modified to accept this 8K signal? If so, I'm golden and it's only like $35!

There has been a considerable amount of time / research / expense developing this distributor, so there is a need to keep things under wraps. The early design used the large cap HEI, which worked extremely well. The business decision to go with "as small as possible" is where everyone felt would be the most marketable to bring to develop. Not sure on the release date, most likely in the first 90 days of 2014.
