First try a mistake. Once a mistake, twice a fool, three times an idiot.

If you only cut off half of the tab and notch the block side of the other tab for a little more clearance, it sure makes it easier to find the stock setting again if need be.

FIXED!!!
re installed the distributor to proper indexing and it runs great.
the only thing i didnt have time to do was notch the slot so i can put the trailing edge of the rotar .020 from the number 1 terminal.
it is right at the edge. 0.00 to -.002 from the terminal.
may notch later to acheive the .020
thanks to the few that helped.
went to scotts mills yesterday .

It's actually a TSB for curing a bucking motor, fairly common in the early XJ's. From what I understand Jeep modified the cam grind and/or the cam gear index sometime in late 87 or early 88 (I really don't remember exactly).wingnutooa said:
It became a recommendation from many after market cam manufacturers, when they discovered there cam distributor index was off a little.
I subscribed to the TSB's and actually received the TSB's for all models of Jeep well into the Chrysler years.
