Trying to find waldo LOL.. crank sensor

so im working on a buddy's 89 Camaro Iroc z with a 305.

Ive got fuel but no injector pulse or spark.
replaced the ICM with a known working one with no bite.

i know that on most GM's the crank sensor usually controls injector pulse, but ive had no help in direction to where its location is.



a straight forward answer would be great lol

thanks once agiain

The pickup in the distributor serves as a crank sensor and could certainly be the problem in your no start condition.
