I just got a 87-95 block 350 and it has a crankshaft sensor that I don't believe I will need. Is there any factory made plug for this or should I look at replacing the timing cover? Dave

Crank sensor, or cam sensor? I'd just machine an aluminum plug with an O ring on it to replace the sensor, but I've got a lathe. I believe that one attaches with a single bolt on the flange, right?

I will have to look at it again, it is near the bottom of the timing case is why I said crankshaft. Dave

Does it bother You that it,s there?
Or is it in the way of the install?
If not, just Leave it and Don,t wire it wink

My concern is it falling out or leaking.

I looked closer today, it has a holder, now I won't worry about it falling out. It is most definetly crankshaft sensor. I just will not hook it up. Dave

If it,s in the way of the install,remove it.
Then You are done with it.
