i converted my truck from an automatic to a 4spd. i am having trouble finding out what i need to do about the crankshaft postion sensor. the one i have bought from the dodge dealership doesent fit..i dont know what the sensor senses on the flywheel. i know on the flexplate it senses the outer ring with the holes that are drilled out...can anyone tell me what i have to do to complete the conversion?

What did the flywheel/bellhousing come out of ?

 

the bellhousing came out of an 1986 ramcharger with a 318..i know the newer style came with a notch in it for the sensor but i was just going to cut it out of the bellhousing.

 

but i bought a completely new flywheel for the 360 beacuse i know the 318 and 360 are balanced differently..i also got a new clutch..

 

not able to help ya. my crank sensor sits on the front of the engine behind the belt.

 

thanks anyway...ill have to do some more research..i have some machanics looking into it for me

 

i picked up a new sensor today from autozone..it looks different then the one i got from the dodge dealership..so hopefully this one will work...if it doesent work..how hard is it to convert it to a carbureted motor??? or could i just put the cranshaft sensorin the front of the motor??

 

i think i figured it out..i had to get the right sensor..and i needed a newer flywheel out of an 1994 ram because my truck was made in october wich it had the 94 setup...thanks everyone
