Installed the new distributor and rotor....
It's always good practice to make sure your distributor is properly indexed when installing it. Here's a great write-up on how to do so:

I attempted to start the Jeep and got absolutely no spark even after confirming that my distributor was indeed properly indexed.
The problem ended up being a bad ignition pickup, which came with the brand new distributor. I swapped back in the old ignition pickup from my old distributor and the Jeep fired right up!
Since I purchased it from O'Reilly's Auto Parts, I took it back to them and they promptly swapped it out for a new one. Excellent customer service!
Bad ignition pickup....
That's all for now! Pics from Camping with my 4x4 club from Thurs-Sun to follow! :camping::friday:
