Where is the crank sensor on a 1981 280zx turbo?

The 1981 280ZX Turbo does not have a traditional crankshaft position sensor like modern vehicles. Instead, it uses a combination of a distributor and ignition timing mechanisms to determine engine position. The distributor is located on the front of the engine, near the intake manifold, and plays a key role in timing the ignition based on the engine's rotation. If you're troubleshooting ignition issues, checking the distributor and its components is essential.
