A+ timing pulleys have a cut-out in the front pulley that matches this
description.  Some Maestro's etc have A+ with an electronically controlled
carb.  There is a mounting for some sort of pick-up on the timing cover
conversion kits that I sent to Waterloo Drivetrian (John Black  -  on this
list)  Can't remember if ALL of them had this mounting point.  Could send
JPEG if required.
