Bobby,
That's a good question, but I'm sure it's the factory mounting position as the signal must time the spark and the RX8  timing wheel goes on only one way, I assume the rest do as well.
The timing wheel is bolted to the pulley which has a keyway, so the timing teeth are fixed ( fool proof), it's just a matter of placement of the Pick-up. This placement position is identified in the RX8 manual.

This question will show my lack on knowledge regarding the sensor and trigger wheel. Could a extra sensor be located in a different position and still work properly? Does the sensor just count teeth to determine where it is or does it rely on a relationship between the factory mounting position and the missing teeth?
