Ugh, above the ears, centered between and above the eyes, also just below the eyes.

A little more seriously, IF IT EVEN HAS points, there is a black thing with a lot of spark plug wires going to it, take it off. Under it will be a rotor, remove it. If it has points, they will be right in front of you.

No points if this is your 78 F150 w/ 351M. Electronic ignition in these.

No points in any Ford trucks after 1975.

DuraSpark electronic ignition introduced 1974.

All Passenger Cars, Bronco's and Econolines had DuraSpark from the get go, but...

Not all trucks had it until 1976.
