5.9 Magnum MPI swap flywheel idea

FYI, there might be a work around on this issue.

Just noticed that the notes for the MPI kit that Mopar Performance has for the 390 hp crate motor notes that a flex plate P4876706, a Magnum flywheel, or a DUAL TRIGGER DISTRIBUTOR is required.

Search for pn P5153731 and read the text. It might say "available spring 2007", but that is related to the kit, not the distributor (I think). The current MP catalog I have doesn't reference spring 2007, so I am assuming it is related to the kit.

Not sure which distributor it is, but I know that the lean burn systems sometimes had dual pickups, but I also know that later on the TBI motors had a Hall effect pickup like the FWD motor 2.2/2.5 used. Not sure if it was a dual trigger or not.

My assumption is that with a dual trigger, the distibutor could be made to read the crank position for the computer. Don't know what (if anything) would need to be done to make it work, though.

Anyone else know anything about this?

Figured I'd also post this in the engine section.
