When I replaced mine on my 93 it was on top of the Transmission, unfortunately I came up with no easy way to unplug or replug it.. I ended up with both arms wrapped around the tranny with my chest on the tran pan, I was able to get it that way.. you might consider removing the trans mount cross brace and tilting the motor down to make more room. but be careful you don't damage the distributor, when tilting... Good luck to you and if you find an easier way to do it, please let us all know..
