Hall Sensor? 700

Ok ok ok ...

I think you're gonna have a problem here. IF I've got this right, you've just transplanted the whole engine? IF you haven't replaced the engine along with the trans, you won't need to make a hole for the crank sensor in the top of the bell housing.

The bad news is that you need the crank sensor. You can use either dist but there's no connection in the 90 for the hall sensor plug on the bottom of the 85 dist. Either dist will work fine in the car.

You not only need the sensor, the bracket it mounts in, and the most important part, the flywheel with holes around the edge. For the automatic cars, it's actually a sheetmetal ring with windows punched in it.


You're going to have to separate the engine and trans, and swap the flywheels while maintaining the correct clocking of the flywheel- there's one un-punched hole, which is the TDC reference for the crank sensor. You can set both engines to TDC, and then swap flywheels with some reference mark identified so that you don't get the flywheel on in the worng place- it'll let you mount it 8 different ways and only one is right.

Good luck straightening this out and sorry if this is bad news.
