pinto crank sensor bracket ?
I'm after a cranck sensor bracket for a pinto engine.
Im trying to fit the sensor for a megajolt and have the wheel in place, have the sensor, coil, leads, MJ, Edis etc but no bracket to mount the sensr
to the front of the engine.
Triggerwheels.com sell a universal bracket which would need measuring, marking and modifying which isn't going to happen working outside in this
weather.
I'm looking for a bracket with the mounting holes already drilled that i can bolt on or a pattern of how to make one.

I've never seen an off the shelf bracket for a pinto and everyone seems to mount the trigger wheel a little differently so the chances of
someone elses bracket being exactly what you need are fairly low 
but this thread might give you some ideas:

The problem with the Pinto is that there are no obvious mounting points unless you we'd lugs to the sump
The only other available bolt points are the ally crank bearing cover and to get this to seal requires extending the bolts and providing some way for
the VR bracket to exert a clamping force.
The bracket is only held in one plane and will vibrate so on my car I ran steel bar with a 90* bend to a redundant 10mm hole on the side below
distributor
On another engine I had lugs welded on the sump and made a plate up to take a VR sensor
