My motors backin and running, however i think the timing is a little off, it tendes to spit and sputter while driving in all rpm ranges. it did the same only a million times worse when the timing was way off. How can i adjust the timing to make it run smooth? I dont want to screw anythig up, i really need this rig.

sounds just like you are one tooth out. remember the rotor must just pass the #1 mark on the cap

You can't really adjust the timing on the 4.0. The dist. has an ear on it that prevents you from turning it.
You're close if it's running, but you must be off a tooth. Turn the engine until the balancer is on zero and the rotor is somewhere near where #1 is on the cap. Pull the dist. out and put it back in so it looks like the second pic in this thread.

The ignition timing is not adjustable, it controlled by the Renix ECU computer.
The basic hardware timing must be correct, like the rotor needing to be close to #1 pin on the cap at TDC, 0 Degrees, on the compression stroke for Cyl #1. IF it is off by one tooth, it will run, but not well. You could be off one tooth since it runs better under acceleration (when the computer changes the spark timing).
Other things could be causing your problem too, like a sticky injector, vacuum leak near the map sensor vacuum line.......
