Crank position sensor

[The_Mechanic]

I don't think taht magnets are the best solution.  First, as sated below, 
they can be somewhat difficult to install on engines other than small 
block chevys with harmonic balancers.  Second, I don't think that the 
resolution is that great.

What about the 60 tooth wheel/sensor setup? How hard would it be to use 
this, and is there anything to gain from it?
