Cam sensor location?????

Hi, a buddy of mine has a 1998 wrangler 4.0 stick. the check engine light is
not on but he had the codes pulled by autozone due to a random no start. The
code reader says CAM POS sensor So I presume that is the camshaft position
sensor. My question is, Where is this. I googled it and came up with either
in the block under the distributor at the oil pump, and inside the
distributer.
Which one is it
Thanks
Steve

It is inside the distributor

Steve, I've never needed to buy one, you might try calling NAPA but unless
we get someone else jumping in here with the answer you may have to go to a
dealer parts department.

If this is a second car there are online dealerships where you can get
discount price.

For a 93 ZJ but probably close enough to get you going.
http://revbeergoggles.com/stator/
http://revbeergoggles.com/distributor/ covers removing the distributor
which you have to do to get at the stator.

A very light writeup I did. Haven't got around to doing a
web page.
