It doesn't specifically have a Crank sensor. The hall effect sensor in the distributor does the job of the crank sensor.

It IS the distributor that has to be replaced.

..Hey guys.."Wrenchtech" came closest.. Its called a "pickup coil" in the 3.0 V6..yes, its a Hall effect sensor, but, misleadingly lots of people refer to it as a "Crank Position Sensor"..which is WHY I could NOT find it on any of the sites on the computer!! ( Its at PARTS GEEK for $40)....Thanks for all your efforts and comments...Tony in Jamaica...Tues 13 March 2012.

Manufacturers can call their parts anything they choose. In this case they call it a hall effect sensor and it does the same job as a crank sensor. I still say you really should be replacing the whole distributor rather than try to disassemble that one. It will have internal wear that could present a problem.
