How do you adjust the timing on a 1981 Jeep CJ5 from the distributor cap?
- Do not adjust timing on anything from the distributor cap. You can adjust timing by moving the distributor.
- You need a timing light and timing needs to be at top dead center to start. Then make a visible mark on base of distributor and engine block so you know where distributor was when you started. That's in case you need to start over.
- Loosen the bolt that holds the distributor. Only loosen it enough to move the distributor.
- Now hook up the timing light, being careful not to get hit by fan, or caught in the fan belt. Aim the timing light at timing marks on the front of motor. You may need a second person to move the distributor for you. This gets moved very slowly, a tiny amount at a time.
- Using white out, color the correct timing line on front of engine so it will light up when using timing light.
- Start the engine while watching the light on the timing marks. You can tell the other person how much and which way to move the distributor. Move only until the marks are lined up .
- When it is correct it will look like the light is on all the time. When the distributor is in the correct position tighten the bolt that holds the distributor.
- After doing this, if the engine is backfiring, and you have previously had the distributor removed from the engine, it is most likely because the distributor is installed 180 degrees wrong.
- To correct the backfiring remove the distributor bolt, rotate the engine top dead center on the number one piston. If the rotor at this time is not pointing at the number one plug lead then carefully lift the distributor from the engine enough to rotate the rotor 180 degrees. Then re-insert the distributor and try timing from start again.

two things mainly either your motor mounts on the engine or what i think the transmission has what is called a cross member that basically bolts the transmission to the frame of the jeep it is hard to miss to check the motor mounts simply put a jack under the engine at the oil pan (place somethin between the oil pan and the jack to prevent a chance of puncture) then jack the engine up a very little bit and look at the two motor mounts they are on either side under the exhaust manifolds also check the bellhousing on the transmission (where the tranny bolt to the engine) make sure they are tight. i know this one... i have the same prob on my 240sx. its the body mounts that hold the susp. to the body. in the rear. like when you are in reverse put the clutch in and then hear a clunk, same thing if you are going down the road and let off the gas suddenly then it clunks. Might also be a driveshaft U-Joint about to go.
there is a fluid level line on the side of the master cylinder. usually reads max fill no higher than that
