    Hi all
    anyone have a photo of a 1964 Distributor set up for a hurricane F4.?
    My gut feeling is that my set up is wrong the oiler is right up against the eng. block.
    Any good restoration resource books out there?

    The PO put a L4 in mine but I've got some decent pics of the distributor. I was trying to make sure I got the right points.

    Did that help?

    I'll work a deal with you ... the bushings are worn out so I'm ordering a new one with electronic ignition. This one lets the jeep run about 15-20 minutes (until it gets warm) then there's enough play that it doesn't fire right and the engine dies.

    In fact I think I have a spare that the PO put in the "spare parts" box....
