ACCEL Gen 7 DFI v6.1
Fast E-dist
LS1 coils
2 - Hamlin 55110 flange mount Hall effect sensors for cam/crank pick up
Embedded 1/4" x 1/16" magnets with JB weld.
The Gen 7 DFI shares the cam signal with the E dist, so I used a IC to buffer the output signal to eliminate voltage drop.
More to come....

stay with it, I like it, you may have trouble with hi rpm's due to centrifical forces wanting to rip it apart, but it is a dang good idea. let me know if I can help with the Electronics. , if this doesn't pan out I do have a new idea that is in this catagory.

I'm ordering an ati shell with magnets for my crank damper with an msd crank pickup for my crank input. For cam all I have now is the dialing sync for signal but I want to get a more accurate signal from inside the opti. Anyone know who can make/modify a wheel and a pickup for a 1x signal? I'm running an accel dfi gen7.

This set-up is strictly used for bolt-on, stock replacement, big horsepower LT1 applications.

Syncing is not too big of a deal. Can be done electronically in CALMAP. Rising edge, falling edge, crank offeset etc. Pretty versatile software as long as you have your sensors dialed to the proper TDC datum points

I was just going to use the accel dual sync for cam only signal. I enquired with efi connection long back when they first were developing their system they were insistent that nothing could give me the 1x cam sync signal I needed.
If I understand right. The fast e dist basically replaces the distributor.. Takes a cam and crank sync and is able to run 8 coils ??? Where was this 8 years ago when I put the gen 7 on !!!!

Plus the coil per cylinder concept can support 1500+ hp which is neato. lol And to answer your previous question, both 1x cam and 8x crank are incorporated into this unit. Saved me a lot of time and money to take this route. Hardest part was machining the billet cover; well, not hard, but time-consuming.
Iam finishing up the wiring today, and will be turning the key tonight.

Typical mechanical engineer. My dad measuring the pulse width with a pair of calipers lol
Attached is a picture of the cam and crank signal
**UPDATE**
The car is running. Everything is working the way it should. Although, something still isnt right. The car will only run at WOT (and yet barely runs) and has no throttle response what so ever. Ive checked everything I could possibly check and came up with no solution; yet.

*Latest Update*
After weeks and weeks of my blood sweat and tears going into this project it has finally payed off. Turns out there was a combo of minor things (fouled plugs, rich-*** tune [tried to tune myself {bad idea}}, incorrect timing parameters) that just wouldn't allow me to get the car running the way it should. With the help of my pops, and tuner Harry Anderson the car is now up and running!
It took 6 variations to get the magnetic rotor/senors correct to where both the FAST edist and ACCEL Gen 7 will both accept and process the signal properly.
First test drive is tomorrow morning. Pics and Videos will be posted.
