are you looking for the sensor that has 2 6mm bolts hoding it into what looks like a hacked up distributor? they should be readily available anywhere. thats a common fail part on those.

 

double check your build date, it may be a 95, and if so you will show the cam sensro for most aftermarket parts, just as a reference check these links out.


you have a crank sensor as seen herefor the 94's- While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at PartsAmerica.com

and the cam sensor as seen here on the 95 up's- While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at PartsAmerica.com

 

Ford quit making the sensor the only place i found any so far are rebuilt ones however today (2/26/2009)i called napa and they say they can order one so ill keep my fingers crossed but the rebuilt ones are the only ones i found after 3 days of looking,why would fod quit making a motor part i have no idea.

 

rebuilt? hmmm, are you sure its not the housing that looks like a distributor that is getting rebuilt? what you are describeing sounds like the newer styled ones

 

Hi folks i got the camshaft sensor from napa but i cant find a tool to install the sensor napa says they dont know anything about the tool might anyone know please thant you
