a sensor mounted either on the crank or harmonic balance. it lets the spark module or something know that the crank is turning and to start throwing fire to the plugs. i belive that what the man said.. the mechanic at the gm dealership told me this, but on the cross fire page i had guy tell me '84's do not have this part. so somebody is wrong, i hope it is not the guy working on my car.
