You wont have to take the gamble and my price is the same for the correct sensor to work for the correct app.
I guess I wasn't following you on that you had some replacements in the works. My bad. It will be nice if you end up with plug and play replacements based on serial number.

The gamble is the crank and cam position sensors supply the PCM with inputs for the correct timing and RPM information. So again it is very important to have all of this correct before going in. That's why I will not sell any to I figure out what sensor will read 100 % correctly to the reluctor that the cam gear has.

IMO not worth 99 dollar risk for the 496 especially with cast internals. The correct timing depending on rpm is very important here thru out. I will post more info about this.

Also it would be very wise to scan your motor if fact you changed out the cam PS with one of these NOS to see if your engine is going into knock mode and or how many times per running. If that's the case wrong Cam PS for sure or a real problem with knock or bad gas / low octane or knock sensor problem of some sort. Good luck.
