It does not have one...everything is in the distributor except for the amplifier module which mounts on the fender well.
If it is a automatic transmission there is no starter relay but, an ignition relay instead. If it is manual the starter relay is located under the hood at the fuse box on the left (drivers) side.
there are many things that can cause this problem. bad spark plugs / wires bad alternator ignition problems loose or corroded battery conection incorrect timing
There's also the crankshaft position sensor mounted on the drivers side / top of the transmission housing. Some auto parts stores carry them, some don't. The voltage connector is on top of the intake manifold, near the firewall. Also check the voltage to the ignition coil.
You replaced the ignition lock, and it will not shift out of park? If that is the situation, it sounds like the column is out of sync. More details are required to give a solid answer. A more common issue with these is the actuator rod in the column breaks. If you replaced the lock because it was turning hard and wasnt always cranking when turned, this may be your problem instead of the lock.
The distributor will cease sending current to the plugs while the fuel injector will stop pumping mix into the cylinders. The engine will stop running on its own and (if manual transmission) begin to slow down the car with its inertia or (if automatic) the car will coast. Power brakes and steering will continue to work, for as long as their subsystems have pressure.
.035 for points type ignition and .045-.050 for duraspark ignition
Its on the firewall side of engine between transmission and engine just below the ignition coil packs one of the wire connectors from ignition module go to crankshaft position sensor

By means of the spark plugs firing which ignites the fuel air mixture. This explosion drives the pistons downward and turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft turns the transmission which drives the wheels.
Automatic transmission - 10 degress BTDC Manual transmission - 6 degrees BTDC
12 crankshaft degrees are between each ignition firing.
The crankshaft position sensor measures the rotational position of the crankshaft for the engine computer. That info is required for fuel and ignition timing.The crankshaft position sensor measures the rotational position of the crankshaft for the engine computer. That info is required for fuel and ignition timing.
For a 1978 Ford Bronco with the 351 M engine : 14 degrees BTDC - automatic transmission 6 degrees BTDC - manual transmission 8 degrees BTDC - automatic transmission - California unless the engine compartment decal shows different
I just replaced a 2001 Saturn automatic transmission for about $2500. Wasn't a salvage transmission, so it cost a good bit more.
What engine? Ford contour 2.0L DOHC eng. distributorless ignition are controlled by the main PCM There is an ignition module on the 99 contour 2.0 with automatic transmission. It is shown in the schematics for this model.
