Title: Routine maintenance parts
Post by: Nosebolt on June 13, 2008, 05:45:19 PM
I am having a bitch of a job getting my local motor parts shop to identify things like plugs points etc for my ’80 4.2 CJ7.

Am I right in thinking that the early Cherokee used the same 4.2 engine?

Not too sure about the Cherry but early YJs did, your best bet is try someone like Lighthouse, the will advise alot better

lighthouse for sure but you should not need points on a 80  they went out in 76 77 from then on they were electronic ignition

I know Lighthouse they have been a great help, but sometimes even next day isnt quick enough. just thought it would be usefull to know what parts i could use if needed
