To adjust the distributor timing on a C1500 pickup, first ensure the engine is at the correct timing position, usually at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Loosen the distributor hold-down bolt slightly, then use a timing light to check the current timing against the manufacturer's specifications. Rotate the distributor slowly until the timing light indicates the correct timing mark on the harmonic balancer. Once adjusted, tighten the hold-down bolt and recheck the timing to ensure it remains accurate.
To set the timing on a 1988 Chevy C1500 with a 5.7L engine, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn it off. Disconnect the timing connector (often a single wire) near the distributor to set the timing in "base" mode. Use a timing light to check the timing mark on the harmonic balancer against the timing tab on the engine; adjust the distributor until the desired timing (usually 0-12 degrees BTDC) is achieved, then reconnect the timing connector. Finally, recheck the timing after reconnecting the connector to ensure it remains within specifications.
It is right behind the Distributor and screewed into the top of the engine block.

Yes.
That is the only electrical device that is in the distributor. Remove the distributor cap and rotor and you will see it.
