Jay,

 

If you look on the LightSpeed web site (http://www.lightspeedengineering.com/Products/CrankSensor.htm) you may note that on the Continental 6-cyl installation it is referred to as the mounting bracket and seal retainer. I removed the stock seal retainers and used the bracket and have had no problem.

 

I also had to work through the issues with the baffling. I ended up drilling holes slightly larger than the stand-offs in the baffling so the standoff would bear directly on the mounting plate. I had to us a few thin washers to get the proper clearance between the magnet and the Hall switches. Make sure you check the clearance with the crank pushed in the pulled out. There is some movement and the clearance range is only .030 to .060 inches.

I am having difficulty with the mounting of a Lightspeed Ignition prop sensor over the baffling on my Cont 550N in my Legacy.

 

In my installation, the prop sensor mounting plate is not laying flat due to the overlapping engine baffling. I have added shim washers to correct for this, but the prop sensor mounting plate is still uneven and the magnet is striking the sensor at one point. I have tried gently bending the mointing plate but this has not worked.

 

If I remove the seal retainer, this will give me some additional clearance and I can then add shim washers as needed.

 

Wondering if others have omitted the seal retainer or if there is better solution.

 

 

 

Thanks all….
