i have a 1987 that i put a 1986 motor in the 87 had a hole in the back of the block for a reference sensor (crankshaft sensor ) i can not find one in the 86 does anyone no were this sensor is located?????

The 1986 engines used a regular distributor...no need for crank sensor..

You would also need the 1987 flywheel for the car to run...

Any one for trying to drill a hole???
