Y'know, i'm not really sure. Guess I just didn't think to look that closely at the sensor, both screws were there and the carnage wasn't really obvious until I pulled the sensor off. I did look to see if there was any debris dropped down there, like maybe one of my lost valve spring keepers...
Finally made it! The showfield is pretty at night. Where y'all at? I see Brian's car but no Brian. My car is tore apart on the uHaul waiting to be brought back to life!

Mmmkay, new belts are on, hose clamps snug, engine bay is reassembled and battery is chargedish. Pulled the SPOUTS and tried to check timing with my cheap Harbor Freight timing light. Timing light is getting power, but not showing any light.
