Default distributor install

Installed distributor and the jeep starts but has no power and is hard to start. I thought they wouldn't start at all if you put them in wrong. http://tomasz.korwel.net/2006/12/19/...s-40l-engines/

Followed those directions on the install.

It is possible to be one tooth off and it still start but not run right. The last time I installed a distributor was on a Ford V-6 and that happened. It fired but ran like crap. I was one tooth off.
