I got a tune up kit from Accel on the Summit Racing web site. It came with plugs, cap, rotor, and wires for about 70 bucks. All good quality stuff. Your Jeep doesn't have a PCV valve, the rear elbow on the valve cover has small orifice that goes to manifold vacuum. The tubing on my 95 was really small, and the nipple on the manifold was small as well. I swapped the tubing and nipple to a later model that was larger setup, that change seems to have solved the problem of oil vapor from coming out of the dipstick tube.

Triple checked the firing order with the haynes manual and pictures on Google. Its fine. Idles slightly rough in park. Horrible in gear. Evens out under acceleration oh and .35 is the correct gap right?

In my opinion, ditch the Autolites! Mopars like Champs or NGKs. I use Champion Copper Plus RC12ECC's in my WJ.
In my experience, Autolite for Ford, Champs for Mopars, and AC for GM. I used NGK in my Nissan.

A little history in my experiences with Autolite. I put them in my '67 Camaro SS 350 because I got them cheap. The engine started breaking up after one run down the 1/4 mile!
I put Autolite wires on my wife's 2.4 Dodge K-car and they started shorting out in a week.
No, I don't like Autolite for ANYTHING!!
JMHO, however.
