Its in the distributor. Paid ~20 bucks for mine. Its hard if you dont have a gear puller and make sure you know how to set the engine to TDC(TOP DEAD CENTER).

PIP would be the stator inside the dizzy....Get a rebuilt dizzy for 99.00 or so...either that you can tear into the dizzy and replace the stator youself...Never did that...someone while chime in with the skinny...

I rebuilt mine as well when I switched out the pip. Had to take the dizzy to a auto shop to get the pulley off. The pip just bolts in with 2 bolts.

What is the dizzy? Where is it located?

Hey zenboy did you take it to the shop to get because you need a gear puller? Did you have to take the distributor out to get to the dizzy?

How do you put the car in TDC?

If someone can explain how I will replace the pip in steps, I will be very grateful


Thanks
Jesse
