If you have a 58X reluctor, you have to use the 4X cam gear. If you have the a 24X reluctor, you have to have the 1X cam gear. No other choice.

No, it's hard coded, can't change it...the reluctors have to match...as he said above me, 58-4 or 24-1. The Lingenfelter converter box requires both to be able to convert...it can't fix just the cam signal.
