On third set of spark plugs and original distributer! I have owned a Grand Cherokee, a Wagoneer, a Suburban, a Ford Econoline van and this rover is the most dependable motor (albeit not the best puller-- ie. 460cc in the Ford Econoline "tanker valdez") of the bunch. The carberation system of the earlier Jeeps was pathetic and my cherokee was the worst of the bunch. Absolute crap. And another thing: the frame of the land rover is the best of all. Sturdy box/ladder style that is much more rugged than any unibody style. Kent
