I am fabricating a distributorless ignition system (with MUCH help from Lynn H) for my 2004 carbureted(Weber) renesis engine, which requires 3 pick-ups. one for the waste-spark leading plugs, and one for each trailing plug.  the flex plate seems difficult to access and has large bolts/nuts spinning, so it seems to me that a reluctor wheel on the other end (near where the current one is) would be easiest.  the existing wheel doesn't have much protruding.  it could conceivably be made and inch bigger in dia. but would run very close to the belt and my triggers would conflict.
    is the second pulley normally used for powersteering or A/C?  could I mount a new reluctor wheel on it, pretty much any size I wanted?  I assume the alternator pulley is in alignment with the water pump?(don't have one yet)  are people running a second alt. off that second pulley?   am I missing something big?(not again!)       kevin
