More generally speaking:
Many engines use electronic controls rather than the older style mechanical distributor. Follow the spark plug wires from the plugs to wherever they connect. If the other end isn't a distributor, it's probably a coil pack in which case you don't HAVE a distributor.
GM has been using coil packs on their 4 cylinder engines for quite some time now. Don't expect a distributor on your engine.
