Where is the ignition coil on 1996 S10?

On a 1996 Chevrolet S10, the ignition coil is typically located on the distributor. Since the 1996 S10 uses a distributor, the coil is *part* of the distributor assembly itself, not a separate component like in some later vehicles with coil-on-plug systems. You'll find the distributor near the center of the engine, under the valve cover.
