How many sensors on a 1988 TPI ??

I am picking up a complete setup from a 1988 Iroc and want to make sure I get all of the sensors. If you could tell me what the connector looks like that goes with the sensor that would help also

Thanks

Do the tpi's actually have a crank position sensor, I did not think that they did. Where is it if they do. Thanks.

Good point.... Then there must be a sensor in the distributor that tells the computer where the engine sits (timing)

I couldnt say for sure but I believe that it is used on mpfi cars so that it knows when to fire which injector and whatnot.

I knew it was batch fire and was pretty sure it didnt have a crank sensor, but I wasnt sure what it was used for but like I said that is what I would have guessed.
