the distributor cap and rotor are under the center housing in the vehicle. you have to remove the console containing the radio. you will see to plastic covers that are round, remove them with a screw driver, they pop out. remove the screws. then at the bottom of that console there are two 13 mm nuts that have to be removed...at the top of the housing there are two 15mm hex screws that have to be loosened....remove cover.
now the engine is acessable. make sure you use a ac delco cap and rotor. this is a cross fire cap .......if you use aftermarket it will not work.....to much work not to be sure.
good luck
In the distributor under the cap
Try replacing the distributor cap.
It's the distributor rotor that you are looking for & it's under the distributor cap. Remove the distributor cap and there you will find the rotor.
I just replaced one on my 1992 astro and it was $120 just for the distributor not including the rotor and cap
