Front Drive Distributor

I presently run a FAST XFI with a crank trigger and use a MSD distributor with 7 tabs broken off of the reluctor and the 301300 IPU harness to pick up a cam signal. I am thinking of installing either an MSD or Mallory front drive distributor. What will I need to do to pick up a cam signal? Thanks for the input.

You will still need to have some sort of cam sensor to keep sequential. GM makes a hall cam sync that came in the newer Vortech 496 big blocks, you can leave your MSD distributor ther and take the cap off and make a cover for it. You can always drill the cam gear for a magnet and mount a pickup there.

There is no real answer for this question, there are several ways you can keep a cam sensor working.
