HELLO ALL,
I AM TRYING TO IDENTIFY WHAT SEEMS A SENSOR JUST HANGING LOOSE NEAR THE DISTRIBUTOR (SEE PIC), IT IS CONNECTED TO THE RIGHT HAND PLUG VIA 12CM WIRE, IT LOOKS LIKE A KNOCK SENSOR BUT IS ALL PLASTIC, IT HAS "067" STAMPED ON IT. BOTH OF THE KNOCK SENSORS ARE INTACT AND CONNECTED TO THE BULKHEAD, CANNOT LOCATE IT ON EKTA ANY HELP WOULD BE WELCOMED, REGARDS NICK.

It's the impulse sender, plug lead 4 should go through it.

It turns your caps lock off Razz

The ECU uses it as a timing reference, what for I dunno.

DOES IT MATTER WHICH WAY IT GOES OVER THE HT LEAD ?
JUST IT LOOKS AS IF IT LOCKS IN SOMEWHERE I.E. CIRCULAR CLIPS ON ONE SIDE,

Dunno, I've never replaced one but it shouldn't matter.
