79 CJ5, 258
I have a 79 CJ5 with a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . Have an ignition issue I can’t resolve. Jeep would continue to run when the key was turned off. I replaced the ignition key cylinder, module and coil. Still don’t get spark. Bought a new distributor, but before I replace that. Does anyone have any thoughts if there can been something else I need to look at? Could the harness on the steering column cause problems? What about the connection on the firewall? Thanks
