[QUOTE="Tree top flyer, post: 433918, member: 19660"] I have a 1989 Wrangler 4.2L. I just installed a Howard cam and a rebuilt 4.2L head that I had milled 60 thousands. Everything went back together as specified in my Jeep manual. My problem is this: I can't get it timed I put the #1` cylinder at TDC. The distributor pointed to the #1 cylinder, and the harmonic balancer mark was aligned at zero. I turned the engine over, and after a couple a couple of turns, I would get a noticeable hesitation, and it would turn over again, then repeat. It never started, and started belching fuel out of the weber Carb. What is going on??? Could I have the distributor 180 de3grees out?? I'd sure appreciate some advice. Thanks [/QUOTE]
