I have a 1985 F250, 302 EFI. I have taken the motor out and am in the process of rebuilding it. I've noticed that there wasn't a crankshaft position sensor, and I'm surprised that the truck ran pretty well without it. I see that this part is available, but Im not sure how it mounts and if all the EFI 302s are supposed to have them. The timing mark indicator has a hole in it that faces the harmonic balancer, and I expect this is where it mounts to, because the sensor is a short cylinder and looks like it would fit into the hole, but I'm not sure how it would be fastened to it.... I haven't looked for where the sensor would plug into yet, and have only been considering how to mount it, and if my vehicle should even have one (I'm pretty sure it should). Any information to clarify this is greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

Are you sure it is an 85 and has fuel injection?

 

yup, it has factory fuel injection

 

Is it throttle body injection?

If so, the signals to inject are provided by the dist and module attached to the dist. Doesn't use a crank sensor as mounted next to crank pulley.

 

No, it's TPI.

 

Thanks for the information, no crankshaft sensor, good to know. Cheers
