Thank you to those who responded .
I should have been a bit clearer when posting question . I have the =
nissan turbo motor originally equipped with a 3 pickup Hall sensor and =
(3) 120deg signal teeth and (90) 1 degree signal teeth . Rather than =
adapting this to my Accel DFI, I put in a normal magnetic pickup =
distributor and used a 1988 chev truck 4 wire EST igntion control module =
. The module hooked right up to the DFI and registered rpm . At this =
point the ignition and fuel should work, crank trigger is not used at =
this point .

Later on I want to go to Coil Packs and use the original crank trigger . =
I have been reading up on the Buick GN systems and they  use a simular =
system on the MPFI . It uses the (3) 120deg signals, and uses 1 tooth to =
set up TDC . It looks like the Nissan had way better resolution, I don't =
know if the old ECU could react that fast . If read Clay's post =
correctly I need the (3)120deg signals and the (1) TDC synchronizing =
signal from the crank sensor .=20

Thank you for the help, my ears are open on this subject .

Oh, you're referring to the crank sensor. And wondering about converting =
an Accel
DFI/dizzy combo to DIS? (if I read you're post right). I think your =
Accel brain
only wants the 120 degree signals. Sequential FI requires cam position, =
but DIS
will be happy with the TDC signal from the wide pulse from the crank =
trigger.
Waste spark coils firing on exhaust anyway. You'll still need to sort =
the ignition
output from the Accel into a 3 channel signal, and drive coils. Many OEM =
"modules"
do this, I mention the Ford EDIS because it is common here in the US, =
and easily
adaptable.

Not sure if I'm speaking to your question, or not.
