Buick Skylark Crankshaft Position Sensor?

So i have a 1993 Buick Skylark v6 3.3l and i am not getting any spark. so i changed out the ignition control module and the coil packs and am still getting no spark. Which leads me to believe its the CPS so how do i go about replacing the sensor. thanksBuick Skylark Crankshaft Position Sensor?
the crank sensor is down by the crank pulley. get a harmonic puller because you will need it. take the crank pulley off, pull the harmonic balancer off, unplug the sensor. the way i do it is a mark the old 1 before i take it off so i can put the new 1 on the same way. there are 2 bolts that holds it, they need to come out and the sensor will come off. just align the sensor with the mark you made and install the sensor. snug the bolts up, plug the sensor in, put the harmonic balancer back on and make sure it aligns with the fins on the harmonic, put the bolt back in and tighten it, put the pulley back on and the belt.Buick Skylark Crankshaft Position Sensor?
it should be down behind the hermonic ballencer realy easy to see there is like a gear pully behind the ballencer and it is just bolted on the block and counts the gaps there is a wire going to it i could be wrong but thats were it should be
