Default cam sensor for 03 Road King with Screamin Eagle 103 engine

I cannot find a reference to the cam position sensor for my bike. Can anyone point this out of work submarine mechanic to its location or confirm it has one? Thanks!

99 (IIRC) was the last year for 88s with both sensors. The cam sensor on the 99 is under the timing cover, but the wiring passes thru the cam chest cover. The connector is under the front engine isolator and must be de-pinned to remove/replace the sensor. I can get a pic later if needed.

I don't know if the later, bigger engines brought back the cam sensor or not. It's really only needed if they are doing sequential injection. (I don't know)

2001 was the last year for cam sensors.

Cool. I knew it was pretty early in the TC lifecycle. So, they were never reintroduced? I assume, then, that the EFI bikes are using batch (instead of sequential) injection? Still wasted spark, too?

EFI ECMs use crank closing in the rear cylinder to figure which cylinder is firing. They need to know which cylinder is firing for both spark and fuel.. No dual fire ignition. That stopped with evos BTW.
