Thanks for all the help. Problem resolved. Thermostat wasn't working properly. Engine temp only at 160 deg. Changed thermostat to 195 deg. Then discovered heater core leak, so I replaced core. Now everything's ok.

Thanks I'll Check it out.

I don't have any heat coming from heater. System flushed and all clear, no blockage in system. Hose from thermostat housing connected to upper heater core. Lower core connected to rear of intake manifold. Hose from water pump near pulley connected to front of intake manifold near temp switch...

Problem was resolved. Replaced the distributor. Jeep fired up like a champ. Been on the road for a week with no problems. Thanks to all who replied to my post. I'll try to get some pics up soon. Mike

The misfire is electrical. Originally the throttle body regulator diaphragm was ruptured, that was fixed. Now if you remove power to the distributor the engine cranks normal. As soon as you re-connect power the engine will crank normal then all of a sudden stop as if the distributor fired on the...

Thanks for all the information. The Jeep is in the shop, been there for 3 weeks. They still can't figure out the miss and low kv's. I'll run it by them tomorrow. Mike

Engine just rebuilt. timing chain and gears new, no slack in chain, 15 pins between timing marks. When I first ran it, it ran great even passed smog. After driving for a couple of days started missing.

Finally got my jeep running. I've converted to Howell Fuel Injection and a GM HEI distributor. I noticed a misfire at acceleration and normal driving speed. I have replaced all the distributor components. Timing set at 6 degs. BTDC. With the vacuum advance disconnected, using a timing light, I...

I dis-assembled above. The cam shaft is 180% out. There's a camshaft sprocket pin and it's in the wrong hole, (180 out). Can this pin be removed? Mike

I just started from scratch. Set timing mark on TDC, then pulled timing cover, valve cover. I found on #1 cylinder both valves closed. Timing mark on crank shaft points to the center of camshaft bolt. Timing mark on camshaft points exactly 180% away from crank shaft. I've looked at the manual...

I want to thank you all for your input. I hate to do this, but have no choice, it's beyond my knowledge. It's going into a shop on Thursday or Friday. I want my Jeep back. Remember when grandpa brought it home brand new. Mike

That's the problem. I know for a fact that #1 is in the correct spot. Even went so far as to hand turn engine to #1 compression stroke, found the timing mark on damper, put a screwdriver into #1 , turned it until TDC, then set damper mark to TDC. Even at that it should have fired, even if it ran...

That bolt is a torque limiter for the transmission.

No, I have reset everything back to TDC countless times.

I have a '82 CJ7, 4.2L I6. engine just rebuilt. Howell TBI installed, CRT Performance GM distributor, stock intake & exhaust. I can't get it to start. Tried everything I know, still no luck. Timing set at TDC, changed distributor cap, rotor, module, new plugs. During cranking engine back fires...
