Thanks Dennis.

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor for LT5
 

The alternative cam position sensor arrived today. Had to make some modification to it so it would fit in cylinder head in place of the OEM stock sensor. Here it is beneath the OEM sensor:

Fit was identical to the OEM sensor.

Same 1mm camshaft reluctor wheel clearance as with the OEM sensor.

Did some bench testing by installing in a head and turning the cam by hand and it generated the same signal output as the OEM sensor.

Looking very promising so far. Next up full scale testing in the car.

Sweet! Another critical LT5 part well on the way to being solved!
THANK YOU PHIL!

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor and Dual mass flywheel for 1990 ZR1 LT5
 

I am impressed and thankful for all the expertise and dedication for the sake of everyone that enjoys these cars. This is neat to see it come together. I hope you have good weather for testing.

Phil, Once again to the rescue of the LT5. Highly interested in the end result so I may replace the sensor in my LT5 while it's out of the car and prior to installing the cam covers.

Installed the alternative camshaft position sensor on my 94 Z this afternoon and it performed perfectly during garage running tests. Even disconnected the signal wire which immediately triggered code 31 cam sensor failure. Reconnected and all was fine again. Rainy weather here prevented a more thorough road test however, from what I've seen thus far I'm confident it will perform just as well as the OEM sensor.

Great news for my ailing Z

Jeff,
Thanks for the offer. In the meantime Dave got me straightened out on the Metri-pack connector components I needed which are now on order and should arrive by Wednesday.

Fantastic job, Phil!
So, which model is this sensor originally listed for? Another GM model?

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor for LT5
 

It’s an generic aftermarket piece I found with a form close enough for replacing the OEM sensor.
Modifications:
• Machined spacer ring for adapting the sensor to the cylinder head mounting bore location.
• Correct size O-ring
• Machining O-ring groove
• Fabing up cable plug end
• Installing split wiring conduit

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor for LT5
 

Anytime Phil and thank you you increasing or parts options!

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor for LT5
 

No rain forecasted this afternoon so I took the Z out for its last serious flog of the year before going up on the lift until old man winter clears out. Car ran great in the cold air. No issues what so ever with the alternative cam position sensor during the one hour spirited drive.

Received the Metri-pack connector components today and here it is fully assembled above the original OEM sensor.

These are the O-ring and backing spacer for adapting the alternative sensor to the cylinder head mounting location. Please note the shallow groove cut in the sensor body for retaining the sealing O-ring.

I will be sending this one to Young1 in Florida who will be putting some miles on it this winter to validate functionality, reliability, and durability characteristics.

Many thanks to WVZR-1 for his invaluable assistance with identifying the correct Metri-pack connector components.

Thanks, always good to have a link to the potential replacement

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor for LT5
 

Phil,
Yet again, phenomenal. Thanks for what you do. (Can't wait to see the 427 results by the way.)

Don't know your final intent with the cam sensors but if you make a run for others to recoup your time...put me in line. I'll put one one the shelf. It would be nice to have one.

Ted

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor and Dual mass flywheel for 1990 ZR1 LT5
 

I agree with Ted, I would buy a built one for a spare

Hello.

Looking for a camshaft position sensor for my 1991 ZR-1 # 10096172

Is there an alternative for the sensor that is no longer available ?

or can the old defective one be repaired

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor and Dual mass flywheel for 1990 ZR1 LT5
 

Get in touch with Phil (Jagdpanzer), he has a great replacement available.

Sorry to revive an old thread but Phil do you possibly have anymore Cam sensors?

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor for LT5
 

Yes, I'll send you a PM

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor for LT5
 

It appears I do not have the ability to send or receive PMs. (possibly because new account) You can email me at Jack@buyavette.net.

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor for LT5
 

I am in the same boat, i am a new account and am unable to send personal messages, but i am also in need of a replacment for my cam position sensor, if you will email me at lhf@frickscustomclassics.com or reach out by phone to 8179659037 Thank you!

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor for LT5
 

I just made an odd discovery. While looking for something in my Z stash I found my original OEM CAMSHAFT SENSOR. There is a guy on Facebook that had an oil leak in this area. In this post on Facebook somebody mentioned they had the same leak and replaced it with the identical sensor that cost $38.00 shipped to my door. Other than 1727 printed under the main part number of 55505-00-02-A
When I replaced mine a few years ago I could only find an AIRTEX replacement and it was $200. GM hasn't had these for a few years now. Is it possible I may have found the deal of the century? Mouser has this for $28.00 with free shipping. I couldn't get the the order straight so I bought one for $38.00 shipped. A revision is in order,this part isn't an exact drop in replacement. I was going to look into this but got side tracked and never got back to it.

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor for LT5
 

I just received a new cam position sensor from Phil. I got the old one out but WTH do you cram the new one in? It is not even close to squeezing in the hole. Is there a trick on getting it to slide in the hole? I have oil on the o ring, the hole is clean and smooth, and I have not even got it to start to go in by pushing it very hard. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: WANTED: Cam position sensor and Dual mass flywheel for 1990 ZR1 LT5
 

Try removing the o-ring. If it still doesn't go in all the way I'll send you another one. If it goes in put the o-ring back on and try it again twisting while pushing.
