Hey guys. been a while since I posted but weve been working 7 12s since February and just haven't had time to do anything. Im really needing to get this distributor in this week so can finish motor and get er running so can move on to a few more things before the fun stuff. Im not a gearhead or a motor guru but was hoping maybe someone could give directions and procedures so someone unfamiliar to get this distributor in my 4.0. Thanks

 

Bring motor to tdc compression stroke and install as shown here ...https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/96...ebuild-141159/

 

Setting Your 4.0 at #1 TDC
　

With #1 spark plug removed, turn the engine over clockwise using the 3/4" front crankshaft bolt. You will see the degree marks on your front cover. Mark the 0 with chalk or white-out.You will see the timing mark on the balancer. Mark it with chalk or white-out. While turning the engine over, put your finger/thumb over #1 spark plug hole. As the mark on the balancer approaches the marks on the front cover, if you are coming up on #1 TDC, pressure in the cylinder will push on your finger. If there's no pressure, you're at #6 TDC and need to crank the engine over until you see the marks coming together and you get pressure. Set the mark on the balancer to the 0 mark on the front cover.
