Will a dist. from a 96 XJ (4.0) work in a 92 XJ (4.0)?

The 92 needs a replacement dist. and the replacement dist. is much cheaper for the 96.

TIA

The '92 and '96 distributors are basically the same and they should interchange. The only problem might be a difference in the cam position sensors but comparing the two side by side, they look identical to me.

That is the info I needed. The cam pos. sen. + a new seal for the 92 will be about $85. A new 96 dist. with a cam pos. sen. is about $97. So for $12 extra I can get everything new & if I ever need to change the cam pos. sen. I will not need to remove the dist. next time. JIM.
