Inline 6 on a 0411 pcm

[dave w]

Another Idea similar to how DUI Distributors makes the HEI Distributors for the IH V8 engines. Basically, DUI adds a spud shaft / spud housing and an IH gear assembly to an "Off - The - Shelf" Chevy HEI distributor. Perhaps a similar idea will allow an "Off - The - Shelf" Vortec V6 distributor with 1x CMP to be retro fitted to the Jeep Inline 6? Perhaps a custom "one-off" Jeep Inline 6 spud shaft / spud housing and Jeep gear assembly added to the Chevy V6 distributor?

That's what I have in mind. I'm running a big cap HEI that I did that to. But you can buy the big cap distributor for the jeep in line 6.

So I know I can modify a V6 distributor to work. But jeep makes this for the later model 4.0 engine. To bad the 0411 won't do coil near plug.FD39_TOP_P04__ra_p.jpg

Seems like the next step is a 3x CKP.

Google shows:
Jeep Inline 6 - Firing Order 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4
Chevy V6 4.3 - Firing Order 1 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2

Well I spent a few min. looking at the reluctor angle compared to the balancer angle at TDC. It looks like it should be a simple thing to do. We'll see.

Dave will the factory crank sensor pickup aluminum or just steel?

[dave w]

Aluminum won't work, it needs to a ferrous metal.

I use Mild Steel.

Stainless steel won't work.
