Kinda confused on what the cam sensor really does.
I installed a Blueprint Engines 383 in my '97 C1500. I actually missed the connection to the cam sensor and ran the truck for several weeks until I went to get the cam retard offset dialed in at the dealer. I was shocked to hear I did not connect the wire to the distributor but the truck seemed to run fine.
I read on the interweb the cam sensor "really" just helps identify the cylinder if a misfire occures but dont know if thats true? I do know the truck ran fine with the sensor not connected at all.
I live in a "visual" emissions only area and my inspection guy is kinda blind so I can get away with a lot.
If I really dont need the sensor I may opt to dump this POS vortec intake and move on to something else. I already have evap, EGR, pretty much everything on the intake deleted. Also I am guessing I could/should use a light for timing...
Any one know exactly what the sensor does?
