Depends on the year and which 6 cylinder
The most common and easiest way is to slowly turn the distributor cap back and forth until the engine sounds most efficient.

A 1997 Jeep has a timing chain.
Straight 4 or straight 6
The stepper motor controls idle speed. A bad motor allows the engine to rev at idle. It often sounds as if the timing is off but not so- It's the stepper motor malfunctioning. I own a stock (original owner) '84 CJ7 6 4.01 straight 6 with a bad stepper motor. There is no replacement part for this stock item - Jeep discontinued it recently. There's no after-market part for this year ('84) unfortunately. You'll need to check out salvage yards or perhaps something custom made advertised elsewhere. I hope this helps somehow.
in the u.s., jeep wranglers didn't come with a v6, they came with an in-line 6. if your jeep has an inline 6 you don't have to adjust the timing. it adjusts it's sels.
