Does you ATI balancer have the magnets in the outer shell? If not, you can just get the outer shell that has the magnets. They also make a reluctor wheel incorporated into the balance cover. I've always shied away from ATI balancers because they only make 3 bolt pulley balancers for Pontiac.

Innovator West is the only balancer I know that has the magnets built in (as pointed out previously) and they do sell a pickup bracket for Pontiacs. I have no experience with them so can't comment.

I believe I mentioned before that there is a late 70s timing cover with no timing marks on it, which would make it easier to mount a pickup bracket.

I've read a number of posts by the Holley EFI forums admin that state there's not much benefit of using anything more than a 4x wheel, just to throw that out there.

A good way to tell if there's an issue with the current crank sensor is to toss a timing light on it and enable static timing. If the timing reading is jumping around, then you know you have an issue.

The problems with the dual sync show up as either crank or cam sensor inconsistent readings, or they don't read/work at all. They are also failure prone. If you are concerned about it, then just replace the distributor entirely. If you have a crank sensor setup already, and are doing DIS/CNP etc, just get a block off type cam sensor and be done with it.

My issue is I don't care for the look of mounting 8 coils, and that's the only reason I haven't gone DIS/CNP. I will probably use a pro billet for a cam signal, and to distribute spark via conventional rotor/cap setup.
