Yeah I think my best bet might be to start buying of ebay US, just as long as shipping is at a resonable price.

LOL, I take it that "dizzy" is not a commonly used term for a distrubutor in the States. Well thats my attempt at international relations I suppose. :clap:

well a bout of good fortune came my way. in out in out went the dizzy and to cut a long story short, I now have a running 4.0L. Thanks to all you guys for all the advice and instructions I was given they helped a lot. (shame I couldn't put them to use LOL) But the problem were as most of you...

I'm probably starting to get annoying, but I have done it all over again from pulling the valve cover, getting TDC, notch to the zero position, lining up the striker on the rotor button to the #1 pin, all leads in the right spot. And have ended up in the same position again. Good idle but bad...

Firstly let me say g'day. Name is Jay and I'm from Australia and have just purchased my first Jeep. It's a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0, with 120,000K's on the clock. Yesterday morning went to go out hopped in, fired her up and it was running real bad. Checked under the bonnet and noticed that...
