Where is the crankshaft sensor located on a GM 5.7 350?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) on a GM 5.7L 350 small-block engine is typically located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine block, near the front of the engine, and pointing towards the crankshaft pulley.

However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the year and specific engine configuration. It's often near the bellhousing but not directly on it. To be certain, you should:

* Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual specific to your year and model GM vehicle will show the exact location with a diagram.

* Use a parts diagram: Online parts stores (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to select your vehicle's year, make, and model, and view a parts diagram showing the CKP sensor location.

Don't rely solely on general information; always double-check with your vehicle's specific documentation.
