Well figured out the issue..The distributor wasn't indexed properly...Got a friend coming over to help me re-index and then should be good to go..

i know this is a really old thread but im having these same issues. mine wont turn over at all...what was the "goofy" thing that you did. my xj has been sitting for 6 years and i gave it a good tune up and changed out alot of parts with new ones and it should be ready to fire up...it just doesnt turn over.

thanks
