Look for it at either end of the cam shaft. My Ford put it at the back of the cam shaft driven by a perpendicular shaft that could have been used as a distributor if it had one. I have also seen them at the front of the motor as part of the camshaft pulley, but I forget which cars.

It is in the disttributor,it has a three wire plug in,that is pointed toward the firewall.When you remove it,rotate the engine, so you may be able to get acess to the small screws that secure it,and position the trigger slots so it'll slide out.
