These things got really stuck sometimes. If you intend to replace the rotor, I have found that it is often easier to squeeze the old rotor with "channel lock / water pump pliers and shatter it. This prevents the possibility of damagintg the Hall Effect Switch under the rotor. Put a dab of dielectric grease on the shaft before you install the new rotor. Good Luck!
That is the only electrical device that is in the distributor. Remove the distributor cap and rotor and you will see it.
I have a 98 Suburban with the 5.7 vortec V8. The cam sensor is in the distributor. Remove the cap and rotor to get to the sensor. Hope this helps.
That is the only electrical Item that is in the distributor. Remove the cap and rotor and you will see the cam senor.
ont the v6 and v8 it is directly under the rotor remove the distributer cap and it 2 screws you will c it looks just like the new one
Almost all v8 engines have the a firing order of 1;8;4;3;6;5;7;2. the rotor rotates counterclockwise. so, as long as you follow the firing order...it doesn't mater where you point the rotor!
4.9 L V6 is 1-5-3-6-2-4 rotor turns clockwise 5.0 L V8 is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8- rotor turns counterclockwise 5.8 L V8 is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 rotor turns counterclockwise
Bring No1 piston to TDC on the compression stroke. Look at the rotor to make sure its pointing to the No1 plug tower. If it is remove the distributor. THEN DON'T MOVE THE ENGINE. When installing distributor make sure the rotor is pointing to the No1 plug tower and install distributor. You can use a timing lite to reset the timing.
All Chevy V8 engines in 1968 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 rotor turns clockwise.

On a 1999 Ford Explorer : ( NO ) All the engines ( 4.0 L , OHV / 4.0 L , SOHC / 5.0 L , V8 ) have the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS ) The V6 engines have ( 1 ) coil pack with ( 6 towers ) The 5.0 liter V8 engine has ( 2 ) coil packs with ( 4 towers each )
On my 97 jeep grand Cherokee, with the 5.2 liter v8, its located in the distributor, under cap & rotor.
