Ok I'll bite. On our '92 Suburban (284k mi) it is located on top of the engine at the back of the intake manifold UNDER the distributor. Be prepared to remove the air cleaner and the distributor so number the wires. The original sender required a 1-3/16" wrench (how many folks have one of those) and of course the new one needed something different, slightly less than 1-1/6"(metric). Not terribly difficult other than finding it and I'll take it over to my auto shop guy to get the timing nailed down; I was able to get it close enough to get it started. This is the link I found a drawing that helped me located the unit on the engine: http://autorepair.about.com/library/illustrations/bl283a-lib.htm
