The distributor is called an optispark. It is located behind the water pump. It you are going to change the cap and rotor then you may as well replace the water pump and optispark since they are known to get water in them and go bad.The water pump must be removed along with pully and balancer Expect to devote three to four hours and two hundred to three hundred dollars,change spark plug wires and plugs while your into it which means the power steering pump and reservoir and air pump must be also removed .Its a lot of work, use a book from parts store.
