    My distributor was in pretty bad shape so I opted to replace the whole thing with the electronic ignition replacement. It has the only metric hardware on the entire jeep

    Then to complicate things, in Europe, there is a couple of different metric sets. A ten MM Imperial is different then a 10 MM Standard. On our Strykers, everything on the the vehicle is metric, except the CAT engine.

    You are correct. Turn the oil pump enough to gain another tooth with the distributor. Then you'll have your 5 degrees.

    cool, will do, and just for a note, i found out that you must pack the oile pump with grease or you will not have immediate oil pressure.......... one more stupid question, looking down the hole from the distributor side clockwise on the pump or ccw

    CCW, that is what comes first to mind. Not a stupid question. A liberal amount of grease does help to prime the pump. I like to take an old distributor, and remove the cam gear. Install the distributor, then take a drill and turn the distributor at the top. The whole system gets oil pumped throughout, without turning over the engine. A good way to get the oil up to the intake valves, so they are lubed prior to start up.

    There is a lot of discussion of GL4 vs GL5 in transmissions and gear boxes, but the small amount used to prime an oil pump and the short time it will be there - won't make a real difference. Load 'er up and go.

    The way I read the forums, you want to use the GL 4 in your transmission and transfer case. If you use the GL 5, the copper and brass will be slowly eaten away. Which will be evident when you change oil. There will be a lot more sparkle material found in the used oil.
