Answer
Hi Noel,
It is hidden under the air cleaner and intake housing:
remove bolt holding air intake resonator to intake manifold
loosen clamps holding air cleaner cover to air cleaner housing
remove pcv valve make-up air hose from air inlet tube
loosen hose clamp at throttle body
remove air inlet tube, resonator and air cleaner cover
remove egr tube
remove spark plug cables from distributor cap, note routing of wires
loosen distributor cap hold down screws and remove cap
mark the rotor position and remove the rotor so you can position it there when you reinstall
remove 2 harness connector plugs from distributor
remove 2 sets of distributor hold down nuts and washers from the studs
remove bolt and spark plug cable mounting bracket from top of distributor housing
remove bolt and transmission dipstick tube
carefully remove distributor
Install is the reverse. Don't rotate the crankshaft or you will have to reestablish the proper position of the distributor/rotor which is an unnecessary task so long as you don't touch the starter once you have the distributor removed. Install the distributor shaft so the the rotor will be back where it was when you first marked it.
