Title: Innovators West integral timing pointer and crank trigger bracket
Post by: philminotti on December 21, 2023, 08:16:25 PM

I saw this item at PRI this year and decided to get one. 
The first picture is the original arrangement, which was fine.  The IW unit is pretty sweet though.  Needed a bit of massaging, but all good.

Looks almost as good as Jay's trigger.  :D  How long has IW had that setup available?

I think that is my trigger wheel on there, and my sensor bracket in the first picture.  The Innovator's West unit is nice if you have to reposition the sensor for fit reasons, and it adds some bling too.  Of course, EFI software allows you to change the actual trigger point of the sensor, so a fixed bracket will always work, as long as it fits in the engine compartment.

Yes Jay, that's correct.  And your heads too, lol. Hell, the original timing pointer was the only OEM Ford part on the engine.  Now that's gone.

IW has had this setup for quite awhile.  I've just never seen it used.

Been around a while but with a few changes.  The balancer didn’t use to have the reluctor wheel on it.  Nice pieces.  I use them on racy stuff.

Yes indeed, good stuff. Been using them for quite a while. Got a new setup on the bench now for the new build. Good company to work with to. In the past they would do extra keyway  grooves and custom bores at a reasonable upcharge in a timely manner.
