You are not a very popular guy right now. Maybe it's time for you to fix this?

A simple google search will reward you with a photo of the later timing cover that clearly has a boss for the crank sensor....

I do not know these things.
Reason for asking lots of questions.
If what you say is true.
Pat will figure it out.

This is not a popularity contest.
It is FACT Finding.
Careless if it hurts your feelings.

As for simple google search, there is no such thing.
Searched everywhere for relevant solutions for my car.
There is a lot of information and limited time.

Did not even know until Billy mentioned about the Holly PCU.
That looks good, is there another that works?
How does it work with the existing PCM?

Companies advertise to sell their top systems.
The plethora of information is tough to sort out.
I have not done this before.

Just wanted to know what and how it works and what is legal.

The crank and cam sensors are the optispark, that's why it's called an optispark. It's an optical sensor that picks up a light source that's blocked by a timing wheel with slots to show where on the rotation TDC and every other cylinder is and the rpm increase.

I dont need to talk to anybody because I can clearly read the rules. The motor has a crank sensor and needs one to function.

It is very clear that you are "not real smart".

My first post in this thread was an attempt to point you in the right direction. You have not hurt my feelings. You have wasted a bunch of my time responding to phone calls about this.

From here on out you are on your own.

See you on the bottom of the qualifying sheets,

Then why do you ask the questions and then not listen to the answers? It's the 21st century! An LT-1 is easier to build than a 283 or a 305!

I do read and listen.
Building an LT is not a problem, the accessories are.
It is confusing if you have not done it before.
Drag Racing is not my life.
I have no disagreement with any of you and rely on your responses.
You are not my enemy!

Pat Cvengros says what the rules are not you.
I sent you the email responses. You have his email.
Not one of you has reached out to him to help clarify them.
What you say means nothing as he a Tech Director and owns the rules.

I have 15 years as a Soccer Ref, decades on the Pitch as a player, Coach, Team and League owner.
Worked many critical games running up against Rules.
I go through daily physical training, monthly seminars, annual testing, learning rules changes every year.
NHRA is no different and respect their governance.

I sent you his responses and you beat on me…!
Your complaints do not phase me ! So F off!

I gave you the information.
Based on the feedback it is now a gray area.
Help get a clear answer from Pat.
This is beyond my understanding and may/will impact you!

The exchange was posted. Fair warning!
Help or you may not like his upcoming decision at Pomona.!

Dude you made this mess were not cleaning it up, I'm not your mother.

I've never raced in Stock, but I guess I'm a potential future Stock racer like anyone else.

This has been a pretty enlightening thread. I'm well aware of Dan's history here on CR, but I'm having a hard time understanding how Dan is being vilified for reaching out to those in charge to get a clarification on a legitimate question in an effort to comply, before learning a hard lesson at the track.

I could easily see myself falling into the same situation.

Oh, the "clarification" issue isn't just on Dan. The person in charge in Glendale made a correction/clarification without researching it.
Are you familiar with the 1992-1997-8 LT-1? It has no distributor! It has no place to put a distributor! It is unlike any other conventional small-block Chevy. The spark and fuel are controlled by a "crank" position and a cam position sensor through the ECM.
