Will a 90 CAS work for a 6bolt swap?

[nickrule99]

Magnus' site says to use a 91-92 CAS (optical effect) or a 93-94 (hall effect) for a 6 bolt swap, but keeping the 2g head.

Can I use a CAS from a 90? Also, whats an "optical" or "hall" effect?

Marco's site also says that he likes to use the 89-90 CAS because it has the long wire that reach around to the stock location. Also check out RRE's CAS page.

Cool, thanks.

Anyone know what the optical or hall effects are?

All you need to know is:

Anatomy of a Cam Angle Sensor:
There are three types of cam angle sensor that are known to work. The early years (89-92) have a metal green/gray cover, use a flat rotating disk with slots, and an optical sensor. The later year sensor (93-94) has a black plastic cover, uses curved metal plates that rotate through a hall-effect sensor. The hall effect sensor is physically similar to the technology used in the 95-96 cam and crank sensors. Theoretically the hall effect sensor is higher resolution. They all work.

bah.. i remember reading that.
thanks for the reminder.
