Ford 302 Ring I'm Making

[Gimpster]

I've been wanting to get EDIS on my carb'd SBF powered RX7 for awhile to ditch my raggedy Duraspark II setup.

Someone turned me on to a place called "eMachineShop.com" and I easily designed a 36-1 sprocket:

I made one with and one without adjustment slots. The plan is to bolt the ring to the FRONT of an OEM style harmonic balancer. They have a bunch of holes around them that those slots will fit over perfectly and the center will be snug. I made one without slots incase my calipering was incorrect, and it didn't cost any extra. They'll be made with a waterjet.

For those curious, the outside tooth diameter is 170mm, inside is 100mm. Thickness is 8mm.

This way I can just stationary mount the VRS with a bracket using the OEM timing bar mount on the timing cover.

Anyway, I wont have the ring for 20 days or so they said, ... but I'm pretty excited!

I could use that technic when building a 427 strocker out of 351 small block. Although, I think 1990, 91 ford crown victorias came with 302 that already had VRS installed?

I looked around a bit just now (on car-part.com, and rockauto.com), and it looked like 90-91 Vic have a regular ole' TFI distributor on them. I'm no expert on that though, so check more throughly.

I'll share the file with anyone who wants it, it cost me 100 bucks to have both of them made. Here is the link to the file you can open in the software for eMachineShop.com:

I'd like to draw up a CAD bracket to hold the VRS sensor next. I'm using the VRS out of a 99-04 Mustang which is different in shape from the Exploder one, lil easier to use I think.

I originally was going to use the 99-04 Mustang wheel too, but its diameter is too small to use with an OEM style balancer. I didn't really wannt blow 300 bucks on a Fluidampr for a stock 302 motor to use it like some people have on the EECTuner forums.
