[V8] Flywheel sensor infor and parts suggestions

[Kneale Brownson]

Best price I've gotten (still over $100 each) was from Wendy Hagar, Hagar
Auto Parts, who responds to emails sent to snolvr8 at msn.com .   It's my
understanding the sensor with black wiring/connector is NLA, but the gray
one will work in both spots.  I used two grays and wrapped the connector in
black electrical tape to make sure I hooked it up to the correct connector.

The procedure is to hire a midget and have him reach in between all the
exhaust piping to remove the heat shield.  It holds the sensors in place.
Actually, a 10mm (I think it was) gear wrench taped to something longer so
you can poke it up through the piping would work well.  I did them with a
box end taped to a longer box end.  Then pull off all the air plumbing and
disconnect the connectors.  If you have smallish hands and long, thin arms,
it's a breeze.  I suffer from opposite physical dimensions.
