Here are some additional tips for setting the timing on a Jeep 4.7 V8 engine:
* Make sure that the engine is cold before you begin.
* If the engine is not cold, you may need to use a timing light to adjust the timing.
* Be careful not to over-tighten the distributor hold-down bolt. This can damage the distributor.
* If the timing is not set correctly, the engine may run poorly or not at all.
