Tanner Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 So I recently rebuilt my engine, I have it all back together now and it cranks... But will not start. I'm am getting occasional backfires. I have fuel and spark but no significant results. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 You probably set the distributor in the block wrong. Look over this and check over your work. It's how I've done many, successfully. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f12/timing-4-0l-508405/#post4686013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Spot on sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar, I had the distributor 180 degrees off, so I thought I had set it properly but it wasn't aligned with the damper mark. Now I just need to figure out why my brand new power steering pump is squealing like a stuck pig and blew the return line off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're kindly welcome. I'm glad it solved your issue. Now I just need to figure out why my brand new power steering pump is squealing like a stuck pig and blew the return line off! Lines set up in the right spots? Pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Yes they are in the correct spot I believe. I will post pictures shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyinajeep726 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm not sure then... Perhaps a blockage somewhere in the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Perhaps, I have a new one on the way so hopefully that one will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
