Apart from all that it is not needed and is another moving part in the engine bay which does not need to be there.
I could go on but its "pointless"
A cam sensor is just a magnetic trigger. Nothing to fail or wear..
Does a cam sensor not have a moving part then ??? Is it not the same thing as a phase sensor really ???? Just on the other end of the cam ?? So would you not be removing, a moving part and sensor and replace it with another moving part and sensor ?????????
You are correct. The phase sensor in a cossie dizzy is still just a magnetic trigger. Being in the dizzy it suffers more with heat/possible oil contamination and vibration as well as the emf from the spark jumping from rotor arm to cap.
