[V8] Flywheel, Plastic Lenses and Fuel Pump Relay

[Steve B]

The ECU uses the flywheel teeth for timing, if you damaged them you'd need to pull the motor or tranny to replace it.  I suppose you could swap in a new EFI system that didn't use the flywheel teeth, but then you'd still have the dead spot when trying to crank.
