Ok..well you don't need the Reluctor crap or the Cover with the Sensor on it. Since you have it you can use it, but you just have to install the Sensor so you don't throw Oil everywhere. If you can trade for a 1995 Cover do that..if not just install the Sensor.

You have the Oil Pump Drive Shaft(get the Melling one from O'Riellys) and the little Drive Gear for that? How bout the Water Pump Drive Shaft & Gear that sits behind the Timing Gear?
