Would a 95 Cherokee (OBD1) have a distributor and not use a crank sensor? If so, easier to trouble shoot.


 this one has a distributor

There are a ton of videos related to a 95 Cherokee like this one discussing replacing the CKP.

My dad retires today from trucking 🚚.  Hauled hazardous chemicals like sulfuric acid and other face melting liquids since he was 20yrs old.
Never an accident.  One of the safest drivers on the planet.

I have a few pics of stuff I've recently worked on.

Kinda quiet on here,  you boys workin hard or playin  ?

Rattiac, congrates to your Dad. Good truck drivers are becoming rare these last couple years.

Been 2 weeks trying to get my Craftsman ready for it's 24th season. Lots of broken brackets, cracks in deck etc. Took me an hour and a half to do the 5 min job of unhooking deck😡 Then 15 mins to get up off the creeper. Ain't much left of me.

Been helping neighbor (with mainly knowlage) on his 1961 Cadillac model 62 4dr hard top. It was his grandads since it was one year old. When my buddy Tom mechaniced for him 30yrs ago he had cut out a nickle size rust hole on each front fender. Just now getting around to spotting it in. So i went over to explain how to shoot lacqure. He did good. Started cleaning the chrome bumpers while he polished the whole car. Amazing how nice the original lacqure is holding up. A little thin on the top center.

Congratulations to your dad! Hope he will have time to do tings he enjoys.

A friend where who drove truck hauled arsenic to ore processing plants all over Nevada. After dumping belly dump load and driving home there was usually a pound or so of arsenic  in the bottom of the gondola. He kept asking of I wanted it and I usually said no.  A single amount of pure arsenic the size of a grain of rice is enough. ::)

I've been cleaning my shop trying to make it pore useable. Putting up pegboard and sorting. Lots done way more to do.

I've been rebuilding the front and rear suspension on the jeep I bought, replacing everything but the axle housings. Have a transmission leak I can't find.

Rattiac, congrats to your Dad!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Thanks everyone,  I'll pass it along.
Hoping to do alot of fishing with him this summer. 🎣🐟

Be careful of those rear leafspring bolts. 
The fronts  almost broke my hand last year. Use your foot to push on the breaker bar.

He did alot of deliveries to the mines in Battle mountain and Carlin.  Kinda your neck of the woods.

Sammons::: keep passing on the knowledge.

Rattiac my jeep has coil spring set up, but thanks for the warning, found the leak at the output seal on the transmission between the transfer case. Changing all the u-joints now and what a pain, When I'm done the suspension will be all replaced, it should be a reliable vehicle

My friend was delivering to mines out there that were using the heap leach process to recover microscopic pieces of gold.The gold out there is very different from the California gold rush, No nuggets! We took a tour of the pit mine in Carlin. They said they had only seen gold twice in the several years they had bee mining though they were producing thousand of ounces of gold each year.

Good thing it's not the General Lee you'd have protestors.  :o

Neither have I.  Kinda cool.  They should do an American flag on the mustangs/camaros. 🇺🇲
Ever notice that dodge never did a convertible in the newer charger/challengers ?
Picked up a fuel pressure regulator for the 32.  Not sure where im gonna mount it.  I see people mount near the driver's side head . My distributor is near there. 
Drove it to work today.

Was a nice day up here in New Hampshire so I picked up my 5 year old granddaughter in the 33 Chevy and brought her to school in the 33 Chevy.  She got a lot of attention from her classmates when we drove up!

Only thing I did today and has been awhile since I worked on the '33,was to install a flasher module that flashes 4 times then stays on continuous like a third brake light should..this was given to me by a friend and ask me if I installed it every time he sees me.....I'll send him a video now that I have it installed and working
