the cam pulley or pump pulley bothe have 6 or 8 spokes in the pullies. and they are steel so would be a good candidate for an old cam position sensor.


The only information regarding resolution is "0.1l/min @ 1000rpm." Might be worth a look...they are cheap enough

How cheap are they? my flow range is 0.1 gal/hr to 3.0 gal/hr.
When i get the two cylinder going the range will be about half that.
