[V8] A little more help with the speed sensor/reference sensor swap...

Hi all,

Thanks so much for helping me diagnose my no start.  I have replacement
sensors now, and finally the time to get them in.  But I am having real
difficulty figuring out how to get them in.  There must be something obvious
I'm missing.

1) Car jacked up in front, front driver's side wheel off.
2) Crawling around and poking/peering underneath, I can not find any
mounting points for the sensors or even get a clear view of the
transmission/engine union to positively find the flywheel - there's just too
much in the way.  I can find a grey connector just above the heat shield at
the front of the header, but from underneath I can not even trace where it
goes.

Did someone say there is a way to do this from the top?  At this point, I
don't care what I would need to strip off short of the head, but it sure
seems like I'd have better success that way.  At this point if the car were
driveable I'd take it to someone to do it, but again it's stuck in the
garage and won't start at all.  Getting a bit frustrating.

Thanks,
Bryan
