Yes, I'm referring to the distribtor. I thought the '96 LT1 had a reluctor ring on the crankshaft, between the sprocket and hub. This ring has four slots in it to trigger the sensor that is mounted in the bottom of the timing cover. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

I checked my shop manual. It does have the reluctor ring. What I wanted to know,is this part he same in a '96LT1 as in a '96 Vortec
engine? I'm building an engine for a'96 coupe and I need this part.
I have one from a '96 Vortec engine.

That was my main concern, are they the same size? I will check with Bill Heard Chevrolet in Columbus Ga. on Monday. If anyone has any info, before Monday, send it on.
THanks!
