Default trigger wheel

Hello.

Im concidering to change to megasquiert. I have a erst -87 so I have to change a lot of things.

My question is, if Im not interested of lifting the enginge and drill a hole to the senser thats indicates on the trigger wheel at the EFI cars, is it possible to work something out at the cam wheel ore the crank shaft wheel (sorry, I dont know the english word for those things).

Can you fit a sensor there and put a trigger wheel on those wheels?

The megasquiert works with a 36-1 trigger wheel.
From the pictures above, it will work if I place the trigger wheel on to the crank shaft pulleys.

Thanks mates!

The megasquirt has a universal wheel decoder so you can use practically any number of teeth. And all this only if you want to go wasted spark of course. Otherwise you can just use the original distributor if you wish.
