Cost, mostly. Not enough bang for the buck. You really don't get much more performance from a COP and sequential injection setup, and the cost is significantly higher.
The cam/crank sensor is driven off the cam gear, just like a regular distributer. Now you're back to the variances of a gear driven component. Plus, they're not cheap. The AEM component is $300 from Summit Racing. Since it's a difficult to locate part, I'd be obliged to carry a spare.
The stock Explorer part can be used, but since that's for a 302/5.0, I'd have to open up the oil pan and change the pump and drive shaft.
When it works, the Hall sensor is relativley inexpensive, easy to change, and more accurate.
