Hi There:
The igniton module is located behind the distributor& very close to the firewall. Hard to get at. Unplug the electrical connector.You will need to buy the ignition module wrench for about 7 dollars at a place like pep boys.Take you time as to not drop the 2 mounting screws. This tool looks like a stubby s/driver with a 7/32' socket on it. Be sure to clean off the silicone grease & put new on. When you buy the module it does matter if you have a/c or do not have a/c. Been there done that on my old 86 2.9l engine. Happened about 86k on the clock. About a $50. item at the time . should be a cheaper now. Have fun & take your time.
