What is the factory timing and is there any upgraded distributor coil and cables?

Oh, btw, this 99's supper clean inside and outside, just need a little TLC and she be running like new....so no chance it's gonna be used for parts..

Thx.
lol i meant keep the 99 and part out the 00. And a distributor system isnt that bad. Just gotta remember which plug and boot came from what when you do a tune up. A lil bit of a pain. And also change the cap out too. As for timing that might be a dukie question.

I am trying to add R-134a to my AC to recharge it says if the pulley does not engage then add half a can and see if it comes on, because it cannot get a press reading. O added no where near half and when I released it read that I had WAYYY over filled it. Put the pulpy was not engaging. Should I ignore that reading because the pully was not engaged or stop because it really is overcharged?

Thanks,
Jon

While you're at it may as well look into swapping an external slave for your ****ty internal setup:

Talking why??

Here is my question, Why do people do horrible things like this to XJ's? I think they were like 18's with low profile tires. They looked like racing tires. The wheels (rims) were polished Chrome! Ugghhh.

Because they lack taste. They probably grew up in a Hon-Duh household.

Hey y'all. Finished my took hook setup but have a couple of questions. On the left bracket, one of the bumper bracket bolts didn't go in and wasn't even catching. And on the right one, the bracket doesn't sit flush with the frame... It's kinda bowed out (see pic). Are both of these safe to pull on? Oh and if it matters, they are the oem setup
