I just bought a couple Troopers with the 2.8l V6. My 1990 had a terrible oil leak. I replaced the Dist shaft O-ring and reinstalled. Upon install I think my marks (grease pencil) were a little off. I want to shoot the timing but don't know what, if any, hoses need to be plugged or? Little help?

A little tech tip: Replacing the Dist. hold down clamp bolt with a stud is a good idea, but you still have to contend with a nut that can disappear into the abyss. Placing the bolt through the clamp then installing an O-Ring to the bolt will hold the parts as one unit. Works great!
