If you get the small plug off the end of the extension harness you can de pin the MSD connector, swap two wires, and plug the MSD cable straight into the LS2 cam sensor.

Hello, billy. Does this mean you're getting ready to do it again? Mustang? If I understand your question correctly, you want a harness that you can plug the MSD cam sensor plug into that will then extend up to the front mounted LS2 cam sensor. I don't think the one *Pop N Wood* mentioned will work. I have a carbed LS2 with a MSD 6010 and FWIW, here's what I did. The MSD cam sensor plug will fit the LS2 front mounted cam sensor. All you have to do is lengthen the wires about 3 ft. and switch the A and C wires (the 2 outside wires in the plug). You can either switch them in the plug itself or (as I did) switch them when you extend the wires. They are clearly labeled on the plug. I did not know to switch them and when I tried to start it, all I got were backfires and flames out the carb. I did a little research and switched the A and C wires and when I hit the key, it started instantly! I hope I haven't completely misunderstood what you were asking.

You're plugging a 6010 into an LS2?

Since you weren't specific, I have to assume you were wondering about the tooth count on the reluctor ring. My LS2 is a 24* and since billy knows all about LS engines, I'm sure his is also. FWIW, a lot of the early Gen lV engines were 24* tooth. We did a 2005 aluminum block Gen lV 5.3 that was also a 24*
We used an earlier year FI intake setup and a #411 PCM and we lengthened the cam sensor wires and had to switch the A and C wires on it to get it to run also.
