4.0L HO Jeep Engine Build
At this point I installed the distributor. Since the distributor has no effect on timing, (this engine has a crank position sensor) I just put the #1 cylinder on the compression stroke @ 14 BTDC and made sure the rotor was pointing @ the #1 wire in the cap. There is a sensor built in to the distributor but I'm 99.9% sure that this is a cam position sensor. Needless to say I also made sure the oil pump drive was engaged too.
One thing that scares me a bit is that the dizzy is a Lucas unit. Back in the day when I worked on a lot of English bikes we called Lucas the "god of darkness" as the stupid Zener diode would crap out and smoke the headlight, lol.
