it's on the outside of the distributor body. it's wired into the loom
that connects the igniter circuitry in the distributor. part of item 12.

Re: 91 Civic, no spark
I do not know if you have replaced the distributor cap and rotor yet.
say this just in case, because I had the same symptoms on my 97 CRV
crank but no spark or start. The distributor contacts had just th
slightest amount of the "whitish" powder buildup on them. The roto
contact edge was "crumbly" looking, not sharp and distinct like the ne
one I had bought. I replaced the cap and it started right up. I the
replaced the rotor and it ran a lot smoother. Hope this helps. BTW,
bought it used w/ 65K miles, and I have about 115K on it now. Goo
Luck

Hmm. I see it. It looks just like an old-style Kettering condenser. My
wiring diagrams don't show it.
I'll add a reference to the FAQ, thanks.
