if I can add something...if you are replacing just the sensors ...maybe with the plate already attached ...but not the connecting cable...and have to solder the cables together ...try using double wall glue lined heat shrink ....it has a 4 to 1 reduction ratio (instead of the normal 2 to 1 ratio )( with heat applied ..and the glue lining will seal out the nasties that exist inside the timing cover .
the rarely noticed but contributing to failure of the connection cable usually occurs under the hall effects plate inside the timing cover ... what I have noticed is that the insulation of the cable deteriorates ..by compression and age ..possibly causing breakover of signal for the hall effects to the chassis earth side ..
be careful how the cables are laid inside there ..and make sure that you do use some form of retension (saddle etc ) of the cable to keep the cable in the right place ...free of crossing cables being crushed and what we call mechanical relief from being stretched or rotated ...un necessarily..
good luck with the job
