On the 2.8L V6 the distributor cap is held on with two screws. Unscrew the two screws and pull straight up on the distributor cap to remove it from the distributor.

what type of engine do you have?? V6
If your car has the V6 the distributor is in the space between the heads ad the bell housing end of the engine. If your car has the 4 cylinder engine the distributor is below the intake manifold on the bell housing end of the motor. If it is a distributor-less engine the ignition control module is where the distributor would have been. Either way you can follow the spark plug wires to it.
On the V6 the ignition module is under the distributor cap.
I found one source that says a 1986 Chevy Celebrity has a curb weight of 2714 pounds. Different options would change that weight.
The taillights are supposed to go on when the headlights are activated.
If your car has the "X" engine with carburetter the fan switch is in the intake manifold more or less in front of the distributor. If your car has the "W" engine with fuel injection the fan switch is in the top of the thermostat outlet.
The last year the Chevrolet Celebrity was produced was 1990, not 1992. And although there were some minor changes, the car was largely unchanged between 1986 and 1990. The standard I-4 engine is exactly the same, as well as the frame and body. I believe the headlight arrangements may have changed, as well as some of the dash detailing and the standard radio, but overall the car is largely the same.
The fuse box is on the bottom of the dash on the right side of the steering column.
