Where is my distributor? V70-XC70 1999

I have a 99 V70 AWD (non-XC). I just replaced the spark plugs at 81,000 miles. I want to finish the tune-up, but can't locate my distributor to do a cap/rotor change. Where is it located in the engine bay? I can't see it from up top, so I assume it's underneath something.... Please help

right, you dont have one. each plug has its own coil by the way which are
fired by the computer. So no rotor, cap,points and no spark plug wires. Volvo
plus others call this direct fire ignition. all very good until the computer
calls it quits
cheers
