Is a Crankshaft position sensor one in the same as a camshaft synchronizer?
These are the parts Napa offers and they look right but I'm not sure which length, they offer a 123mm and 132mm... and ideas on what the difference is?

I've been having a chirping for quite a while and have done pretty much everything to narrow it down to this. It seems fairly simple as long as it is angled correctly. Does anyone have any experience pulling one of these?

Thanks for the help.
 
Two separate sensors. the crankshaft position sensor is located on the passenger's side of the crankshaft damper, the camshaft position sensor is
located towards the back of the engine, where you would expect a distributor to be. The camshaft position sensor synchro is known to make a
chirping sound before going all the way out.
 
Ford says they have a Camshaft Syncronizer in both 123mm and 132mm shaft for my model. Anyway of knowing which one it is before pulling it?
