Default Is this an early '99 Cherokee or a coil pack?

Please excuse my ignorance, but could someone please let me know if this is an early '99 Cherokee with the distributor or a later model with the coil packs? I can't tell from the photo - maybe someone else can?

Playing the Lottery Could be Good. I see red spark plug wires coming from a distributor, just like you guys.

You will have a Dana 35 rear axle with that ABS package.

Most people seem to think no. I have one too though, with the abs package.

Like playbass, said, most people seem to not care for the lowly D35, but i have a D35 in both of my 84z and my 2000(though Her 4.0s getting reBuilt at this time and I havent driven Her more that 20 miles since I bought Her), and I havent had any problems. I have had quite a Few Cherokees And a Comanche(my first vehicle back in 2000)with the D35 rear, most of them had 4.0s, most with AX15s, and All got Driven. Though none of them had bigger than 31" tires. But they got Driven. Hard.
