I was looking into this one when I started collecting parts for my EDIS 
(Ford crank trigger) project, but as I need to interface it to the Ford 
EEC-IV EFI I have, I chose another route.

I have taken a cam position sensor from a Ford V6, which has the correct 
shaft diameter, both for the oil pump hex and the distributor gear. The 
housing is too narrow though, but I have had an aluminum adapter bushing 
made that will allow it to be properly mounted in the block.

I believe it is identical to this one:

I have one from a 3.0L V6 also, and it is taller and would need a more 
complicated adapter to fit the block.

Here is one that would be excellent for a 302C EFI conversion:

The latter one won't work as the the shaft is too narrow for a 351C/351W.
