Since the bottom half of the distributor would have to remain anyway, the easiest way to retrieve a camshaft position signal would be to mount a sensor right on top of this “cam syncro shaft” (or Camshaft Synchronizer).
The bottom half that engages the camshaft and drives the oil pump would have to remain (less Ford redesign the entire block).
since the oil pump is driven by the camshaft via the distributor on this (and many “V” pushrod engines), Ford could not completely do away with the distributor. This system uses a set of positioning sensors, one on the engines crankshaft and one on the engines camshaft, to determine when to fire the spark plugs. Starting in 1995, the 3.0L received a distributorless ignition system (DIS). Do not get this confused with a CPS which is a Crankshaft Position Sensor)īe sure to check out our Ford Ranger 3.0 Forum ( NOTE: Also referred to as the CMP CaMshaft Position sensor.
