Default crank sensor question

so, i know this could be a stupid question if there ever was one. i have a 97 ram with the 5.9 v-8. im putting a new motor in it, and i was wondering what the crank sensor plugs into and where that plug is. And by the way, if you have any other tips on putting a motor in, and wiring and vacuum line info, that would be appreciated.
Thanks. Brian

top left of the tranny about 6 inches from the belhousing, it's going to be a b!tch to get at with out dropping the rear of the tranny

You looking for where the CPS goes or the other end of the electrical connector? And the only other advice I have is, next time label everything and take pictures.

Boss Man if you could do that it would make several peoples lifes alot easier..............especially me, I found a broke vacuum line and no clue where it cam from.

Would be a good FAQ.

Also my CPS is attached to the back of the block and goes between the belhousing and engine, there is a cutout in the bellhousing for it.
