looking at it from the front, it is right behind the intake manifold, to the left of the distributor. you will be able to see two bolts holding a plate on. The sencor hangs between the block and the bellhousing

It's in the distributor. You'll see it once you remove the rotor. HTH.

I'm sorry to hear that. However, I don't understand why he even needs to touch the intake manifold. The cam position sensor is located on the underside of the right (passenger's) cylinderhead near the front of the engine where the target wheel is mounted to the right camshaft. There is a TSB that discusses some cam position sensors needing to be shimmed because the mounting hole was over milled and may cause the sensor to actually touch the target wheel.
