Pulley-mounted crank trigger w/stock Magnum EFI - trigger notches?

I don't have direct experience with mopar trigger wheels and sensors. I do have experience with the application of Hall sensors with targets. I do ground up ECU designs, including reference sensing, but I make what I want, and code to go with it. In your case the code is likely fixed, so the sensing means needs to replicate original signals in all respects.
The first thing, is capture cam, crank, and ignition primary signals on a logic analyzer along with timing measurement from timing light. That provides all necessary information to replicate, and properly setup.
Next thing is to accurately measure trigger wheel, and see how that compares to sensing signal. Typically widows shrink, because sensor triggers before and after tab, because sensor does not trigger at center point, it has diameter. Sensors vary in size too. Most Hall sensors sink current, go low with tab of target. Target should be anealed low carbon steel, not stainless.

Thanks for chiming in, Kit.

If I recall correctly (and this is from a long time ago, so take it with a grain of salt), the OBDII PCMs are flashable, but primarily for the purpose of removing unnecessary sensors, rather than altering the code that reads the Hall output.

I obviously won't have a chance to capture these signals, but I might have the chance to do so off a second-gen Ram - it's dependent on a neighbor's potential trade. While I have a reasonable grasp of what the logic analyzer will do (particularly given the data @TT5.9mag linked to at DodgeForum), I've never captured data with one before - nor do I know what would be an affordable unit.

Any links you might be able to point me to? I did see the SmartScope in that thread, but would like to hear your opinion.

I can get the ring laser cut in annealed 4130. Not a problem.

Found someone running a similar system on a /6 using one of those red generic hall sensors. I take it the choice of sensor will have an effect on the waveform just as much as the ring itself.

So we're aiming for a nice square wave; nothing surprising there.

The back of my mind is wondering whether these printouts would be enough to get a rough idea of where to clock the ring.
