What did you decide to do for a cam sync signal?
The 1996 4.9 damper has a 3 bolt pattern but it is a serpentine belt damper.IIRC there's a specific damper that has a 4 bolt pattern for a trigger wheel?

I don't know.Eh, I suppose I could switch to a serp setup, but I'd prefer not to.
On a somewhat related note, it seems like there were a couple different water pump configurations offered over the years.

I made a .060" spacer but still had to notch the pump body.On the subject of the oil pump not clearing the main studs, would there be any negative to making a thin spacer for the pump, just enough to give the clearance? Might mess with the pickup positioning a bit, but the tube should be able to bend enough.
