well assuming this is the 318 and i think the v6 as well, it should be on the passenger side bellhousing. If you're replacing it, make sure to make sure the replacement is for your transmission, they are different for the autos and the 5spds.

The crankshaft position sensor is on the right (passenger side) right between the engine and transmission.
It's held in with two Allen-head (hex key) bolts [mine was, at least, don't remember the size]. It's hard enough to see, and even more "fun" to actually get to and change out.

Its very easy to get to and change out if you take a minute to remove that inner fender well. There should be a dozen bolts holding the inner fender well in, and then the CPS is right behind it!

I must just have big hands... well and the bigger exhaust manifolds probably don't help either... but mine was a PITA to get to even after removing the fender well, it gnarled up my wrist pretty good...
