I got the vehicle from my dad. It was running good for about a month and just kind of quit on me. I have the 360 motor. I changed my spark plugs and wires already and still no spark. Not sure what else it could be.

The engine was changed? (it would have been a 304 originally)

Has any of it been modified? Like the ignition system?

Can you send me a good picture of the distributor? (even pictures of the rest of the engine compartment)

Being that your CJ-5 is one year newer than mine, I know how things might change over the years with different hands in the cookie jar!

I am kind of trying to see what you do have, so that I do not ramble on giving you mis-information!

I feel sure we can get you going with some simple testing.

Just yesterday, the lady at the ice cream store drive through window said, "Today is a good day to be driving a Jeep".

I had to reply, "Every day is a good day to drive a Jeep!"

Your turn!

I noticed that maybe you had not seen my reply?

I thought that another response might notify your email again.

Any news?
