Not to worry, oil holes are there!I am sure that it's the camera angle, but I do not see any oil holes.

The reason you can't find the bolt for the camshaft is because it doesn't use one. LOL
The signal won't be any cleaner with a different style lobe, it'll just be shorter or longer in time or degrees of rotation between events, as long as you're using a hall effect sensor and it's proximity is close enough to the lobe to trigger. I believe you'll select if you're using only the rising edge or the falling edge of the signal and where that might be in relation to #1 TDC during the setup. It's been a while since I've looked at the trigger options in TS and they may have changed a bit depending on firmware versions. And as they mention the cam signal doesn't need to be as accurate as the crank signal, since it's just for #1 reference and has a big window of time to indicate it's coming up.While talking with the people over on the MS Extra forum, they mentioned actually just using the fuel pump lobe on the cam and a hall effect sensor to work as a basic cam sync signal. Reportedly, when using a 36-1 wheel the MS3X can get by just using a simple cam signal. This was the article I was referenced
Adding a camshaft position sensor and a crankshaft position sensor to an older engine
Older engines typically do not have provisions for cam and crank position sensors. Here is an example of adding these on a Chrysler slant six.www.diyautotune.com
I'm still going to try using the V6 cam sync sensor I picked up since I already have it and it's long past the return window, but this could be a good backup. Also gets me wondering if it would be possibe to request a sharper, more prominent grind to the pump lobe on a custom camshaft to give a cleaner signal...

I'm pretty sure you are confusing a hall effect sensor with a VR sensor. Hall effect sensor output is either off or on, i.e. a square wave. A VR sensor output is more of a sign wave on which the signal strength or amplitude varies with rpm or sensor distance.I guess 'Cleaner' wasn't quite the word I was looking for. What I was trying to say was, given that hall effects work on magnetic fields and the strength of the signal is correlated to the distance the sensor is away from the magnet/lobe, having a steeper ridge would mean fewer degrees of the lobe are within sensing distance, making for more defined peaked waveform than one with a more gradual ramp angle. It's also possible I'm entirely overthinking it, wouldn't be the first time.
Got it, I was definitely mixing those upI'm pretty sure you are confusing a hall effect sensor with a VR sensor. Hall effect sensor output is either off or on, i.e. a square wave. A VR sensor output is more of a sign wave on which the signal strength or amplitude varies with rpm or sensor distance.
We try to keep it a secret so it will be a surprise.Went to get the oil pump installed today, and it's running into the #4 stud. Is this a known issue that I missed?
There is sticky you missed at the beginning of the Big Block section.
Do not mill the exhaust manifold thickness.I also found while mocking up the intake/exhaust manifolds (I did finally get a lower efi intake last month, not sure I ever mentioned it), looks like the flanges are different thicknesses. OFC I left my calipers at my rental, so tape measure shows the intake is about 0.375" thick while the HD manifold is 0.5" thick.
Given the way these bolt down, the only option I see is having the exhaust milled down to match the thickness of the intake? I'm open to other ideas though
Try a 3/4"-14 pipe plug.On a very unrelated note, the HD manifold has a large hole at the back, I'm guessing a heat riser or such? Does anyone know what the threads are on it so I can get something to plug it
