I bought an 89 MJ 4.0 that stopped running, which turned out to be a loose ignition switch plug. But it won't start. Fuel pump runs, it fires, but sounded like it was off.
It appeared the distributor was off by 180, but now that I have the notch on the crank pulley lined up with the timing marks, the rotor is between #1 and #4 on the cap.
Figured I'd ask how to fix this before I mess something up or do it the hard way. I assume I can just loosen the bolts and rotate it?
I'm internet-taught when it comes to mechanics, so simple explanations work well. :wave1:
