The universal ones use a 'powered' pickup & steel studs in the trigger wheel move past it. Ya can put in the studs for a V6. To interface this w/ the SyTy ignition module, all that's needed is two capacitors to isolate the DC voltage from the module. Easy, works nice also, tried it.

depending on your price range electromotive has a setup that will work well i think you should be able to use there wheel and trigger whith the e-dist or pick up there stand alone system it is pretty sweet i will be going this route soon

The electromotive pickup will not work it uses a 60 tooth wheel .
i guess if there was a bunch of guys stuck you could buy the sensor mount and sensor. then I could take apart my truck and take the trigger wheel in to a CNC shop and have a bunch CNCed. Then I would have to drill the three spots for the magnets. Then just buy the magnets from MSD and epoxy them into the trigger wheel.
Hmmm if there is enough guys interested and desperate I guess I could do it. My time is nonexistant at this time so it might take a bit.(4 trucks to finish building before spring)

Trigger wheel-wise, I ran into a slight glitch on my crank nose pulley. Adding the MSD wheel spaced the serpentine drive belt pulley out by just over 1/2". Wound up lathing a 1/2" section out of another pulley & welding it back together. Just *another* day added to the project......

Just to throw an idea out there...
Anybody considered making trigger wheels?
I've got a 5" in the works that was cut from a chunk of 5" bar stock (like slicing
sausage).
For the trigger device, a crank trigger from a 3.1 V6. It's a MR unit, so all it
needs out of a wheel is for it to be ferrous metal, and have regular spaced
notches. Can make the notches however you want, really.
This generates an AC signal, which can be used with pretty much any ignition
you'd want to use it with.
I'm attempting to set up a DIS system, which, if it works, will cost a DIY
'er <$100. Should also be a plug-in to the stock ECM.
More on this as the project develops....

local buddy can make 'em. He had one of the cover cars for GMHTP.
He built one for a Supra powered Lexus SC300 that used FAST with eDist. Made 980rwhp @ 8100rpm or something, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it worked ok
Dig - the 3.1L idea - didn't Gordon Jennings do the same setup?

Possibly... I guess I don't remember an external crank trigger being
involved.
I should have the "prototype" on a vehicle within a month or two... from
there, it's a matter of shaking down the timing to make sure everything
lines up.
One thing's for sure... ground either end of that coilpack and you get one
wicked-looking blue spark out of the apparatus....

Ran into a snag with my trigger wheel not fitting a stock setup. Plan B is to mod the balancer itself, and use it as the wheel.
My Sy is basically dead garage weight now, so I might just as well use it as a manufacturing buck....

I have an EDIST but need the trigger wheel and cam sensor. Any updates with part numbers so I can order something? Is that DIY web page up? URL ??
I would put this set-up on the Indy (749 ECM) Sy to get rid of the incessant stumble a week after replacing everything in the ignition again & again.
