What is the real name of the sprocket or sensor on the rear of a crankshaft? A part number would be great if possible..

Thanks

Check out the Part #'s pdf catalog in the Downloads section at Crossedflags.com. It has pictures, and part #'s too of course, and best of all....it's free!

I believe there is no separate part number for the crankshaft position sensor exitor ring (as the parts manual calls it). It is supplied as part of the crankshaft and is listed as such in the parts book.

Patches,

Are you saying it can not be purchased without buying a crankshaft? The stroker crankshaft I bought did not come with one.

The vendor stated they were avaiable directly from GM. Said they were less than $20.

You can probably buy one separately but are most likely already installed on the stock crankshaft if you buy one. My parts manual, however, lists the part with no part number and states it is supplied with the crankshaft.

Call Bob Wendorf at Fichtner Chevy and I'm sure he can help you. 406-628-4618

I've seen a couple posts in the For Sale forum for crankshafts. Check with those guys and see if they'll sell you that part separately.
