Im tired of cleaning out my distributor every time I go through water....
Anyone know what kind of compatibility issues I'm going to run into putting a 2000+ ignition system on the ol TJ? (4.0L)
thx.

more than likely some severe computer swap issues....then you have to get that sensor thingy that goes in the distributor hole and,,prolly some other sensors..including more O2 sensors and bungs for them.....Good luck

you may be better off looking into ways to waterproof the distributor. plastic bag and zip ties. silicon and WD40.

take the cap off and neatly run a beat of RTV around the mounting serfice .as long as your wires are in good shape you shouldnt have a problem

do you have dielectric on all the wire connections? That helps waterproof. What exactly is the issue? If you're getting issues with snow getting up there and causing problems, you probably need a new set of wires, eh? Silicone around the distributor cap bottom works, but dielctric should work just aswell.
What exactly is the issue that you are having? Loose wire maybe?
Oh, by the way, those tires are workin out pissah. Did you see my pics up on jeepin.com?

I didnt- but ill check it out, thanks. You should come oiut with us sometime- i want to see those things in action again:).
And my prob is water getting inside the dist cap when running deep water or mud; it farts and sputters, crazy idle, etc.
Silicone around th ebase is good, i just need to figger a way for the vent on top- it gets in there as well.

Something to check, the cap itself, i once had a small crack in my dist. cap and it would run totally fine but when i got in any water sputter, cough, choke.
just something to think about?
