Which ever one fits with correct air gap between sensor and flywheel.

also tps is throttle positon sensor.

Cps is crank position sensor.

I guess its your auto fill thingy.

Thanks I shall try the zetec one first then.

Yea Cps changes to Tps for some random reason.

Do I need to line up the gap on the EFI flywheel to TDC on par with the trigger. 90 degree? Or just chuck it on?

Rather than drilling the block, why not use a 36 - 1 trigger disc on the crank pulley?
probably a lot easier and cheaper

I have a trigger wheel set up the the block is already drilled. I need to take the box off and change the clutch. I have an efi flywheel so its a no brainer to fit that at the same time.

Heavy flywheel if chasing power/response using a FRST type. Id rather use the ERST type and further lighten it. Then use an external CPS setup this will also be serviceable if anything was to go wrong etc. Always issues with a sensor in such a hot place, down to manifold, turbo block heat soak wiring etc etc.

End result is obviously it will work, depends how far your going and what results you want.

The flywheel only fits 1 way, so you can't get it wrong.
