Ok so i have what sounds like a baby seal in my distributor. I thought maybe it was the cap and rotor so i replaced them and it has come back. The sound doesn't happen all the time or for very long. I have read the threads about this and have gathered that it could be one of the bushings in the shaft. I have also read that it could turn into a big mess in a hurry to by siezing the bushing and breaking the hold down bolt and ripping all the wires off as it spins the speed of the cam. Or tearing up the distrib cam gear and distroying the motor. Both a headache.
My question here is what is a good replacement? Really don't want a JY swap because of this might coming back again sooner that i'd like. Is there a upgrade one out there that would be good for a motor that is completly stock?
I did find this one. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/A...|1991|Make|JEEP|Model|CHEROKEE|Submodel|SPORT
