On The Crankshaft It Has A Magnet & On The Timing Cover It Has A Pick Up Coil, This Sends The Control Box Under The Coils Information As When To Fire That Coil. The Timing Is Done By The Computer.
On the distributor.
check the ignition modulator under the distributor cap
On the back side of the distributor facing the firewall , it will have to screws bolting it down to the distributor
Under the cap, inside the distributor, it is easy to change with the distributor off the car, a pain to get to with it on the car.
the ignition system would be a HEI or high energy ignition with a distributor cap and rotor. this would refer to the 2.8 liter v6
Well, if you have a 2.0L, you'll never find it...these engines have distributorless ignition. The ignition system is located under the intake manifold.
I am currently working on a 1990 Pont. GP. For all intensive purposes, its pretty much the same car. The GP has no distributor, it is an electronic ignition, so no distributor,no points,but you do have an ignition control module which has 3 coils attached to the front of it( 6cyl. engine) this is where your spark plug wires go. It should be located either on the side or front of motor just above the starter,and just below the exhaust manifold.good luckmrkhh
My 73 Bonneville has points type ignition. The later years had electronic ignition distributors, which had .045 or more gap. If you're engine is points type, the gap is .035.
There is no distributor cap or even a distributor on these engines since the 6 plug wires are connected in pairs directly to 3 coils on top of the ignition control module. This module energizes and "fires" the coils electronically without the need for a distributor. If you suspect ignition problems check plug wires first, then plugs, then the module and coils.
no
No power to ignition switch check fusible links at terminals just to rear of battery. No power to ignition coil, check ignition module inside distributor, fuse, main power connector to rear of battery.
That depends on what type of distributor/ignition you are running. Point style, good rule of thumb is .035. HEI is usually .045.
