I., sorting out the Megajolt for the van and am using a SC bracket and trigger wheel with the Magneti Marelli crank sensor, which fits the bracket, as intended.

Male half of the plug is easy to get, personally I would not disturb the OE wiring on the sensor, then if you ever need to swap the sensor it's an easy unplug-plug in job, no wiring mods needed.

Even with the male plug I would need to know which was the positive connection though. |

The Cosworth type Marelli sensor has been tested with a 36-1 wheel to nearly 9500rpm on the DON so no worries on that score!

I can't remember exactly from memory, but what you need is a Junior-timer male socket, now I think its a 2-pin one, BUT its not unknown for them to use a 3 pin housing (physically wider) with just the two pin recepticles in use.

It's the 2 pin one. I made an extension up for mine recently. I just bought a male and female junior timer connector and made a straight extension. Was a PITA to put together, but should do the job nicely. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

The ford plug seems to fit my new sensor... I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Andy put me on to my new sensor and as I say it fits my ford plug, but he says I will have to reverse the wires so will do it at the Enis end where I have snap connectors, will I be ok to try without any damage to find the right polarity? Anyone know please.. Alan Main Build

Tom, I'm sure you are right but, like me, I'm sure you use an adaptive ECU. EDIS (which MJ uses to read the crank signal) is seriously old..... So "may" not be happy with a VR sensor intended for different speeds. I have no evidence one way or the other but I would tend to err on the side of safety and use the VR sensor intended for EDIS on an MJ install rather than something that wasn't used on EDIS. Just my opinion.... Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

On my sensor there is a '+' on the plug. this equates to pin 2 on the female socket.

This SEN8D sensor is the one supplied by SC to go with their bracket and trigger wheel for An A series MJ installation, so I guess it will work.
