I have a 9'' on a 2002 3-channel Fbody with functionnal abs too. I modified the stock reluctor ring inside diameter on a lathe and pressed it on the Locker carrier. After that I fabricated 2 hollow plugs with threads and welded the one with internal threads on the top of the steel housing exactly where the sensor is on a stock 10-bolt. This step requires measurement to make sure everything is aligned. I had to drill a hole on the top of the housing with a 1.5'' hole saw The other plug has external theads and a hole in it for the sensor. I modified the stock abs sensor (cut the plastic bracket with hole) to fit into the plug and it's working perfectly. It's all adjustable with a lock nut so I can get the perfect gap between the sensor and the reluctor ring. It's on the car for 2 years and no problem with abs.
The sprocket set up is a good idea and easier to do but if you change the gear ratio, you have to change the sprocket.

This is how I made it work: I bought a sprocket with 40 teeth for a 25 pitch chain and had it bored and pressed onto the yoke in place of the seal shield. 120 teeth (stock) / 3.00 (gear ratio) = 40 teeth. Obviously, this would be different for different gear ratio's. Anyway, we made a bracket to mount the stock sensor above the yoke. I would call it an L-bracket, but it's more like a ?-bracket. I adjusted it to have about .050" clearance between the sprocket tooth and the sensor and it works great!
Just thought some might be interested.
