[V8] Sensor Question

[Jeremy Ward]

Hey Brad, mine does the same thing, and I noticed that the Tach
doesn't bounce as I am cranking...  I remembered from this list that
if it bounces it is one sensor, if it does not, it's the other... 
Anyone able to clarify?

Also, I remembered that someone said the  RPM sensorfor the 5000 is a
lower price, and has a longer cable.  Is this correct?

Thanks in advance,

- Jeremy
