To all:
I'm looking to convert my 351W EFI to distributorless ignition and need a little advice. Does this camshaft position sensor take the place of the distributor?

I'm a little behind the times when it comes to "advanced" sensoring like this. In other words, I pull out my distributor, put this guy in, and I have my cam position signal ready to go to my ECU? If this is the case (and I sure hope it is), this would be a very elegant solution to what was turning into a complicated endeavour.
If I recall, the 5.8L requires a longer shaft than the 5.0L, so I guess I would have to swap the shaft out of my distributor.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice you can provide me.
