Default need HELP!! Looking for pin identification on crank sensor

I'm trying to hook up my msd 6012 and it wont plug into the sensor. Called msd but they told me the correct plugs are on the harness, which if they wereI wouldn't have called.

Where can I find the sensor/volt/grnd info for the three pins on the crankshaft sensor? got the cam figured out.


I'm sooo close to firing this thing up

thanx.

chris.

Thank you Dustin, but I don't have the abc like the cam. Just the part number.

in other words...the sensor pins aren't labeled inside the plug like the cam sensor is.

if memory serves correctly A is closest to oilpan and C is toward head.

from MSD to crank sensor
org/yel - A (pin on bottom)
brn - B (middle pin)
org - C (top)

either way it is labeled the same way the cam sensor is, as far as the location of A,B and C. So you can just use those as a reference.
