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.
got a question on timing, the oil pump and the distributor lined up as it should with shallow side down and on right angle parallel to deck and the dist lined up with #1 however with timing light can not get it to adj to 5 degrees??? it will go to timing mark but manual says to go to 5 degrees?? move the gears in oil pump a little??
You are correct. Turn the oil pump enough to gain another tooth with the distributor. Then you'll have your 5 degrees.
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.
90 wt gear lube.. was told to use GL 4 all i can find is GL 5, but manual says GO. WTH???
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.
