97 4.0 to 99 4.0 Block

What year did the distributor go away, 99 or 2k, I never really looked close but did they just block the dist hole or did they do a new engine block sans dist hole ???
 
The 4.0 became distributorless in '00 but the same hole is still in the block. The '00 and later models use a camshaft position sensor that's driven by the gear on the camshaft from the same hole.
