Bobby,
I guess your right about that - but don't ask me how, perhaps Tracy can advise.

George,
 
I was guessing it would be the relationship between the two. So if an additional CAS was place somewhere else on the wheel it would have to be software adjusted to work. (i think)

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?
