VR sensor outputs about the same? Need to select 4 geomtry

I'm adding EDIS-6 to my 72 TR6. I need to select a VR sensor. I'm using parts from a 91 Ranger 6 cylinder (Because that is what I found first in the junk yard) I need to design a VR sensor mounting bracket to fit the the engine since it never had one. The sensor geometry for the ranger was totally not usable so I have to come up with something else. I cruised the NAPA web site and found scads of VR sensors that look like what I want to use. The question is, Electronically speaking, do they have same output that will work with the EDIS-6 module? Should I stay close to the the year of the EDIS and is 4 and 8 the same as 6 cylinder outputs. Logically, I would think they would be the same but I try never to assume anything. I'm looking for as small sensor as possible with a single mounting bolt hole parallel with sensor body. I have an idea of how I'm going to do this but really need a sensor in hand to fit it. I don't know at this point weather I need a straight, 45 or 90 degree connector.

Thanks.

A VR sensor is a VR sensor. There may be differences in temperature ratings or the like, but the signal shape will be the same.

In addition to Don's advice,keep in mind that the placement of the sensor in relation to the crank wheel is critical when using EDIS! IIRC, tooth #6 for EDIS6....
