Jim, far as I know you can get to it through the starter hole.  The stock
sensors are not Hall senders however, they are VR (Variable Reluctance), so
my main question would be if you could trigger the Haltech with a VR sensor,
you could rig up a hall sender in its place though, so that could work.

I'm currently developing the Stage 2 034efi with Direct fire to read these
stock sensors, so I'll be finding out more and more as I test soon.

HTH,
Javad
