Some one will give up a pic to pin point it until then, IIRC Looking at the bottom pully (harmonic balancer if you will), it is at about 10ish 0clock? It has 2 wires on a plug and it is held in by one bolt going through a plate with a point looking thing on it. It is held in kind of like the old distributors on a gasser.
Advanced Auto has them pretty cheap.
When you get the bolt out you will have to pry the CPS out. Don't worry there is no oil or anything that is going to follow it out and getya. Pop the new one in and bolt it down.

Thanks sounds easy enough and that's good ... it's chilly and raining.

Thanks for your help.

I would use a flash light and lay on a piece of cardboard (keep the hood closed so ya don't get rained on). Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

This isn't really necessary to do, but I loosen the serpentine belt to give some slack. Gives me a bit more 'wiggle' room while I'm under the truck.
