I'm replacing the crank sensor in my 90 SHO tomorrow and need some advice on how to do it quickly, can it be done in one evening? also where can I find the video for the 60k tune-up? I can't seem to find it anywhere... please help if you can, I've only had this car a week and I want to make sure it lasts a long time, its a great car when it wants to run with only 82k on the car, I got it for a steal

If you can work fast and efficiently, yes you could replace the sensor in one night. If you start by 8 you could possibly be done by 11.

Im assuming you have a crank pulley removal tool?

You will have to remove the timing belt anyway, so you may as well replace it, and the water pump as well. Then you won't have to worry about those things for 60K miles.
Give youself plenty of time, and the I highly recommend the 60K DVD that Shonut sells. It's always good to visualize what you will be doing before you do it.

With the proper tools, yes it can be done in one evening. But to save yourself headache in the future, you might as well replace the waterpump, and timing belt. Also, dependant on your budget, and their condition, it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the cam, and crank seals.

thanks for all the good advice, I should have her up and running in a couple of hours. it was a lot easier to do than I thought. Im an amature mechanic and it only took me 4 hours to get to the sensor and I'm hoping it takes less time to put it all back together.....
