Installing the Jeep Distributor/Cam Sensor
1.
Ensure the #1 piston is at Top Dead Center on the compression stroke. To find TDC on the
compression stroke you can remove the #1 spark plug and put your finger over the spark plug hole while
you have someone turn the engine over slowly by hand, once you feel pressure building up on your finger
bring the piston to TDC and
you’ve got it.
2.
Remove the distributor cap and rotor and look at the pulse ring on the distributor (see picture below),
note that there are two holes one for the 2.5 (4) cylinder engine and one for the 4.0 (6) cylinder engine.
(pulse ring is located under the rotor and my require you to remove the plastic dust cover to expose it)
3.
Insert a 3/16
” pin (an allen wrench will do) into the small hole under the bottom side of the distributor
base. Then find the 4.0 (6) cylinder hole in the pulse ring which is located at the end of the half moon
pulse ring and line the two up and lock out the pulse ring. Note: The hole that is
“free” is
to time the four cylinder engine, do not use for the six cylinder engine.
4.
Pre-position the oil pump slot at 11 o
’clock to accept the distributor drive as shown in the picture below.
5.
Insert the distributor, engaging the oil pump. Note: The rotor will
not
be aligned to the
# 1 plug wire on the cap. Once the distributor is fully engaged and flush with the block remove the
alignment pin.
6.
Install and tighten the securing bolt at the base of the distributor. Do not rotate the distributor base at all
for this will not change the ignition timing since this is actually a cam sensor for the engine
