Default 95 XJ No Spark Motor Mount

Hey guys new on here. I've been working on getting my 95 Cherokee to start. I have fuel have air and I have very weak spark. So I started testing wires. Everything checks out clear to the cap. So I figured my timing is off. Went to pull my distributor out and it wouldn't budge. Come to find out a motor mount was busted and the engine was leaning on it. So my question is am I right when I'm assuming that that's affecting how the distributor operates? All input is welcome.

Motor resting on dist could of done damage to it.

Can you post a picture? I can't imagine the engine could lean far enough to rest on the dist.

I would but we lifted the motor up off of it and pulled it out. Trust me I thought the same thing.

That's what I was assuming. But you know what assuming does.
