89 jeep timing

[billyjo25]

I removed the whole distributer without marking it, yea I know dumb. Now the I cant get it to start. I have fuel, spark. Put it at TDC compression a hundred times still nothing, what could i have messed up the sensor on the flywheel maybe. Any help would be nice, its a 2.5 wrangler. thanks

try turning the distributor 180 degrees. The front piston hits the top twice in the cycle.

I have done that plus more, I had another mechanic look at it and he gave up after two days. I was just wondering if someone else has went thourgh this and knows what to do.

no ideas, I was afraid of this

Why did you remove the distributor ?

 

[billyjo25]

To fix the seal on it, I have order the sensor on the flywheel and some other things like spark plugs and wires, it takes a long time to get to me because I am stationed overseas and I dont have alot of good mechanics to work on american vehicles, so I am on my own with this one, unless you guys can help me.

Did you unhook the battery before you did the work ?

 

[billyjo25]

No I didnt

The book says to put the rotor button between the 1st and 3rd wires on the cap but everyone says to put it facing the #1 wire which makes since. Whos wrong
