If you have a starter that engages the ring gear on one side
(as per normal), and you're prepared to offset a reluctor pickup
away from the wearing section of the ring gear, the major problem
I see is picking up magnetic grunge from the bellhousing. In many
respects, it's a better option than an optic setup on a converted
distributor (BTDT).

Having said that, I'm planning on a Hall pickup on the crankshaft
toothed belt drive pulley for the camshafts of an AlfaSud (flat 4)
I just need to take a small segment out of one of the 20 teeth to
make a 20-1 "wheel".

Peter.
