THe Crank Position Sensor is aligned on the flywheel, just aft of the engine, on the large transmission bellhousing, on driver side. Now I tried to take an actual picture on mine, and I'd just like to see what angle they used to take the photo shown in the other post...but no way: I guess the fenders were not there when they took that photo. YOu have to go from under.

THe bracket just below sensor is supporting the exhaust pipe just as it leaves the engine...
